sure, but how would you send this information to a client browser, using websockets?, I'm trying to use fetch streams for its simplicity but they don't work very well for me.

You can pipe this stream into the response from a http request. I found this article in a quick search that might help. Anywhere you see a fs.createReadStream you can substitute in this readStream!

There are numerous ways, including websockets, that this can be done. I would have to put in more research. If this article gets enough traction I could do a part 2 where I send the data to a frontend.
