file_get_contents() equivalent for Node.JS
fs.readFileSync appears to do what you're asking. From the manual:
fs.readFileSync(filename, [options])
Synchronous version of
fs.readFile. Returns the contents of thefilename.If the
encodingoption is specified then this function returns a string. Otherwise it returns a buffer.
Nice for load some conf files on app start but its Sync !!!!
const fs = require('fs');var contents = fs.readFileSync('inject.txt').toString();
No, there's not. Do it asynchronously: Do stuff, and when the download completes and you've buffered it all into one place, emit an event or call a callback to do the work on the whole blob.
