socket.io-stream question

[creativesoumik]

My app receives a stream socket.io-stream which is emitted at browser and writes to a file using fs. Stream content is binary. But instead of writing to file I want to upload to box.com via their sdk which requires a readstream.

I have tried to use the socket stream directly to sdk upload method but it fail. The sdk upload method only works with fs.createReadStream method.

I need to know with the duplexify pack whether I can create a duplex stream which reads from socket io stream and outputs to box upload sdk?

Thanks

Here is my code so far

io.on('connection', socket => {
console.log('connection');
socket.emit('connected', 'hello World');
var uploadRunning = false;

ss(socket).on('file', (stream, data) => {
console.log('>>>Received File Emit at <<<', new Date().toString());
console.log('data.originalName', data.originalName);

var streamFileName = Date.now() + '.txt';

//saving to stream to file 
// stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream( streamFileName ));

// I don't want rather use the "stream" down below in the uploadFile function
// var stream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file'); works but the above incoming stream doesn't

boxApiClient.files.uploadFile('36155801746', data.originalName, stream, (err) => {

  if (err) {} else {
    console.log('Upload to box finished');
  }

});

});
});
