Streaming

The bareUtils module bareutils.streaming provides constants and helper functions for streaming body content.

More information can be found in the api.

Body content is sent and received as asynchronous iterators.

The most common functions are:

• bytes_reader to read streams of bytes,
• bytes_writer to write streams of bytes,
• text_reader to read streams of text,
• text_writer to write streams of text.

For example to read a text stream from a request handler:

from bareasgi import HttpRequest, HttpResponse
from bareutils import text_reader

async def handle_request(request: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse:
    text = await text_reader(content)
    return HttpResponse(200, [(b'content-type', b'text/plain')], text_write(text.lower()))
