# pipe method

Future pipe (StreamConsumer<T> streamConsumer)

Pipes the events of this stream into `streamConsumer`.

All events of this stream are added to `streamConsumer` using StreamConsumer.addStream. The `streamConsumer` is closed when this stream has been successfully added to it - when the future returned by `addStream` completes without an error.

Returns a future which completes when the stream has been consumed and the consumer has been closed.

The returned future completes with the same result as the future returned by StreamConsumer.close. If the call to StreamConsumer.addStream fails in some way, this method fails in the same way.

## Implementation

    Future pipe(StreamConsumer<T> streamConsumer) {
      return streamConsumer.addStream(this).then((_) => streamConsumer.close());
    }
