# co-read
Consume a readable stream generator-style. Works with streams1 (push) and
streams2 (pull) streams!
[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/juliangruber/co-read.png)](http://travis-ci.org/juliangruber/co-read)
## Example
Log all chunks from a stream to stdout:
```js
var http = require('http');
var co = require('co');
var read = require('co-read');
co(function*() {
var stream = createStreamSomehow();
var buf;
while(buf = yield read(stream)) {
console.log(buf);
}
});
```
Also check out `/example.js` for a complete example using http streams, both
streams1 and streams2 style.
## API
### read(stream)
Read a chunk from `stream`.
* Returns a truthy value when the stream emits data.
* Returns undefined when the stream ended.
* Throws an `Error` when `stream` emits one.
## Installation
With [npm](https://npmjs.org) do:
```bash
npm install co-read
```
## Kudos
The streams2 part is based on
[previous work](https://github.com/visionmedia/co/commit/d1f03a936a70d7c7cb27c9d95b53ed567a4ded10)
