An iconv-lite stream that autodetects the encoding and fallbacks to a specified fallback encoding.
Usage example:
const AutoDetectDecoderStream = require('autodetect-decoder-stream');
let stream = fs.createReadStream('1.csv').pipe(new AutoDetectDecoderStream({ defaultEncoding: '1255' }));
stream
.on('data', data => {
console.log(data);
})
.on('end', () => {
console.log('Done reading.');
});Other options that could be passed:
| Option | Explanation | Default |
|---|---|---|
defaultEncoding |
The fallback encoding, if nothing was detected. If "ASCII" is found, it also assumes that there was not enough data to go on, and falls back. | 'utf8' |
minConfidence |
Minimum confidence to require for detecting encodings. See jschardet | Depends on jschardet (Currently 0.2) |
consumeSize |
How much data to use for detecting the encoding? - in bytes. | 128 bytes |
stripBOM |
Should strip the BOM for UTF streams? | true |
