The ready read-only property of the
WritableStreamDefaultWriter interface returns a Promise
that resolves when the desired size of the stream's internal queue transitions from
non-positive to positive, signaling that it is no longer applying backpressure.
The following example shows two uses of the ready property. The first uses
ready to ensure that the WritableStream is done writing and
thus able to receive data before sending a binary chunk. The second also checks whether
the WritableStream is done writing, but this time because the writing
must be finished before the writer can be closed.
js
function sendMessage(message, writableStream) {
// defaultWriter is of type WritableStreamDefaultWriter
const defaultWriter = writableStream.getWriter();
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const encoded = encoder.encode(message);
encoded.forEach((chunk) => {
// Make sure the stream and its writer are able to
// receive data.
defaultWriter.ready
.then(() => defaultWriter.write(chunk))
.then(() => {
console.log("Chunk written to sink.");
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(`Chunk error: ${err}`);
});
// Call ready again to ensure that all chunks are written
// before closing the writer.
defaultWriter.ready
.then(() => defaultWriter.close())
.then(() => {
console.log("All chunks written");
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(`Stream error: ${err}`);
});
});
}
