function default.duplexPair

Usage in Deno

import default from "node:stream";
const { duplexPair } = default;
duplexPair(options?: DuplexOptions): [Duplex, Duplex]

The utility function duplexPair returns an Array with two items, each being a Duplex stream connected to the other side:

const [ sideA, sideB ] = duplexPair();

Whatever is written to one stream is made readable on the other. It provides behavior analogous to a network connection, where the data written by the client becomes readable by the server, and vice-versa.

The Duplex streams are symmetrical; one or the other may be used without any difference in behavior.

Parameters

optional
options: DuplexOptions

A value to pass to both Duplex constructors, to set options such as buffering.
