Every Readable Stream is Asynchronously Iterable

Every readable stream is asynchronously iterable, which means that we can use a for await...of loop to read the stream's contents:

import * as fs from "fs";

async function logChunks(readable) {
  for await (const chunk of readable) {
    consoel.log(chunk);
  }
}

const readable = fs.createReadStream("tmp/test.txt", { encoding: "utf8" });

logChunks(readable);
// 'This is a test!\n'
