Function itr8FromStream

Transforms a readable stream into an async itr8.

Each chunk of data wil be passed as a string if a default encoding has been specified for the stream using the readable.setEncoding() method; otherwise the data will be passed as a Buffer!

Example

// each next() call will return a Buffer
itr8FromStream(fs.createReadStream("./myfile.bin"));
// if you have a txt file you want to process line by line:
const readableStream = fs.createReadStream("/home/me/mytextfile.txt", 'utf8');
pipe(readableStream, lineByLine());

Did you know that all readable streams are Iterables?
