Simply reads a file and outputs it to console.log/stdout

copyFiles.js

var fs = require('fs');

var file = fs.createReadStream('origin.txt');
var destFile = fs.createWriteStream('destination.txt');

// Not surte why end: false required as it seems silly to close midway through copying?
file.pipe(destFile, {end: false});

file.on('end', function(){
  destFile.end('Finished!');
});

downloadServer.js

/**
 * Sends index.html to request.
 */

var fs = require('fs');
var http = require('http');

http.createServer(function(request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});

  var file = fs.createReadStream('index.html');
  file.pipe(response, {end: false});
}).listen(8080);

pipeFile.js

var fs = require('fs');

var file = fs.createReadStream('fruits.txt');
file.pipe(process.stdout);

streamFile.js

var fs = require('fs');
var file = new fs.createReadStream('fruits.txt');

file.on('readable', function(){
	var chunk = null;
  while(null !== (chunk = file.read())){
  	console.log(chunk.toString());
  }
});
