# minipass-sized A Minipass stream that raises an error if you get a different number of bytes than expected. ## USAGE Use just like any old [minipass](http://npm.im/minipass) stream, but provide a `size` option to the constructor. The `size` option must be a positive integer, smaller than `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`. ```js const MinipassSized = require('minipass-sized') // figure out how much data you expect to get const expectedSize = +headers['content-length'] const stream = new MinipassSized({ size: expectedSize }) stream.on('error', er => { // if it's the wrong size, then this will raise an error with // { found: , expect: , code: 'EBADSIZE' } }) response.pipe(stream) ``` Caveats: this does not work with `objectMode` streams, and will throw a `TypeError` from the constructor if the size argument is missing or invalid.
