node.js - How to parse a read stream in hapi? -

how can parse , validate readable stream payload sent http client within hapi server handler? handler code looks @ present

{     method: 'post',     path: '/',     handler: function (request, reply) {          request.payload.pipe(process.stdout);         return reply('success');     } } 

short explanation: don't need parse it, that's automatic default. validate same way normal request.

by default, hapi buffer readable stream coming chunked-encoding transfer memory , attempt parse you depending on request content-type header. handler run only once stream has ended. because of default options of payload config setting.

server.route({     config: {         payload: {             output: 'data',   // these default options             parse: true       // these default options         }     }     method: 'post',     path: '/',     handler: function (request, reply) {          console.log(request.payload); // object         return reply('success');     } }); 

so if client sends json request, request.payload javascript object, not stream. can validate normal object using joi.
