| # isStream
 | |
| 
 | |
| [](http://travis-ci.org/rvagg/isstream)
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Test if an object is a `Stream`**
 | |
| 
 | |
| [](https://nodei.co/npm/isstream/)
 | |
| 
 | |
| The missing `Stream.isStream(obj)`: determine if an object is standard Node.js `Stream`. Works for Node-core `Stream` objects (for 0.8, 0.10, 0.11, and in theory, older and newer versions) and all versions of **[readable-stream](https://github.com/isaacs/readable-stream)**.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Usage:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var isStream = require('isstream')
 | |
| var Stream = require('stream')
 | |
| 
 | |
| isStream(new Stream()) // true
 | |
| 
 | |
| isStream({}) // false
 | |
| 
 | |
| isStream(new Stream.Readable())    // true
 | |
| isStream(new Stream.Writable())    // true
 | |
| isStream(new Stream.Duplex())      // true
 | |
| isStream(new Stream.Transform())   // true
 | |
| isStream(new Stream.PassThrough()) // true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## But wait! There's more!
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can also test for `isReadable(obj)`, `isWritable(obj)` and `isDuplex(obj)` to test for implementations of Streams2 (and Streams3) base classes.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var isReadable = require('isstream').isReadable
 | |
| var isWritable = require('isstream').isWritable
 | |
| var isDuplex = require('isstream').isDuplex
 | |
| var Stream = require('stream')
 | |
| 
 | |
| isReadable(new Stream()) // false
 | |
| isWritable(new Stream()) // false
 | |
| isDuplex(new Stream())   // false
 | |
| 
 | |
| isReadable(new Stream.Readable())    // true
 | |
| isReadable(new Stream.Writable())    // false
 | |
| isReadable(new Stream.Duplex())      // true
 | |
| isReadable(new Stream.Transform())   // true
 | |
| isReadable(new Stream.PassThrough()) // true
 | |
| 
 | |
| isWritable(new Stream.Readable())    // false
 | |
| isWritable(new Stream.Writable())    // true
 | |
| isWritable(new Stream.Duplex())      // true
 | |
| isWritable(new Stream.Transform())   // true
 | |
| isWritable(new Stream.PassThrough()) // true
 | |
| 
 | |
| isDuplex(new Stream.Readable())    // false
 | |
| isDuplex(new Stream.Writable())    // false
 | |
| isDuplex(new Stream.Duplex())      // true
 | |
| isDuplex(new Stream.Transform())   // true
 | |
| isDuplex(new Stream.PassThrough()) // true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| *Reminder: when implementing your own streams, please [use **readable-stream** rather than core streams](http://r.va.gg/2014/06/why-i-dont-use-nodes-core-stream-module.html).*
