autodetect-decoder-stream

An iconv-lite stream that autodetects the encoding and fallbacks to a specified fallback encoding.

Usage example:

1const AutoDetectDecoderStream = require('autodetect-decoder-stream');
2
3let stream = fs.createReadStream('1.csv').pipe(new AutoDetectDecoderStream({ defaultEncoding: '1255' }));
4
5stream
6    .on('data', data => {
7      console.log(data);
8    })
9    .on('end', () => {
10      console.log('Done reading.');
11    });
12

Other options that could be passed:

Option	Explanation	Default
defaultEncoding	The fallback encoding, if nothing was detected. If "ASCII" is found, it also assumes that there was not enough data to go on, and falls back.	'utf8'
minConfidence	Minimum confidence to require for detecting encodings. See jschardet	Depends on jschardet (Currently 0.2)
consumeSize	How much data to use for detecting the encoding? - in bytes.	128 bytes
stripBOM	Should strip the BOM for UTF streams?	true
