### Returns a `stream.Readable` from a URI string
This high-level module accepts a URI string and returns a `Readable` stream
instance. There is built-in support for a variety of "protocols", and it's
easily extensible with more:
| Protocol | Description | Example
|:---------:|:-------------------------------:|:---------------------------------:
| `data` | [Data URIs][data] | `data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ%3D%3D`
| `file` | [File URIs][file] | `file:///c:/windows/example.ini`
| `ftp` | [FTP URIs][ftp] | `ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/site/README`
| `http` | [HTTP URIs][http] | `http://www.example.com/path/to/name`
| `https` | [HTTPS URIs][https] | `https://www.example.com/path/to/name`
Example
-------
To simply get a `stream.Readable` instance from a `file:` URI, try something like:
```ts
import { getUri } from 'get-uri';
// `file:` maps to a `fs.ReadStream` instance…
const stream = await getUri('file:///Users/nrajlich/wat.json');
stream.pipe(process.stdout);
```
Missing Endpoints
-----------------
When you pass in a URI in which the resource referenced does not exist on the
destination server, then a `NotFoundError` will be thrown. The `code` of the
error instance is set to `"ENOTFOUND"`, so you can check for that value
to detect when a bad filename is requested:
```ts
try {
await getUri('http://example.com/resource.json');
} catch (err) {
if (err.code === 'ENOTFOUND') {
// bad file path requested
} else {
// something else bad happened...
throw err;
}
}
```
Cacheability
------------
When calling `getUri()` with the same URI multiple times, the `get-uri` module
supports sending an indicator that the remote resource has not been modified
since the last time it has been retreived from that node process.
To do this, define a `cache` property on the "options object" argument
with the value set to the `stream.Readable` instance that was previously
returned. If the remote resource has not been changed since the last call for
that same URI, then a `NotModifiedError` instance will be thrown with its
`code` property set to `"ENOTMODIFIED"`.
When the `"ENOTMODIFIED"` error occurs, then you can safely re-use the
results from the previous `getUri()` call for that same URI:
``` js
// First time fetches for real
const stream = await getUri('http://example.com/resource.json');
try {
// … some time later, if you need to get this same URI again, pass in the
// previous `stream.Readable` instance as `cache` option to potentially
// have an "ENOTMODIFIED" error thrown:
await getUri('http://example.com/resource.json', { cache: stream });
} catch (err) {
if (err.code === 'ENOTMODIFIED') {
// source file has not been modified since last time it was requested,
// so you are expected to re-use results from a previous call to `getUri()`
} else {
// something else bad happened...
throw err;
}
}
```
API
---
### getUri(uri: string | URL, options?: Object]): Promise<Readable>
A `uri` is required. An optional `options` object may be passed in:
- `cache` - A `stream.Readable` instance from a previous call to `getUri()` with the same URI. If this option is passed in, and the destination endpoint has not been modified, then an `ENOTMODIFIED` error is thrown
Any other options passed in to the `options` object will be passed through
to the low-level connection creation functions (`http.get()`, `ftp.connect()`,
etc).
Returns a `stream.Readable` instance to read the resource at the given `uri`.
