Node.js Stream writable.writableHighWaterMark Property

Last Updated : 12 Oct, 2021

The writable.writableHighWaterMark property is an inbuilt application programming interface of stream module which is used to check the highWaterMark value which was passed while creating the Writable. Syntax:

writable.writableHighWaterMark

Return Value: It returns the value of highwatermark if it is set otherwise returns the default value. Below examples illustrate the use of writable.writableHighWaterMark property in Node.js: Example 1:

javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the     
// writable.writableHighWaterMark Property

// Accessing stream module
const stream = require('stream');

// Creating a stream and creating 
// a write function
const writable = new stream.Writable({

  // Write function with its 
  // parameters
  write: function(chunk, encoding, next) {

    // Converting the chunk of
    // data to string
    console.log(chunk.toString());
    next();
  }
});

// Writing data
writable.write('hi');

// Again writing some data
writable.write('GFG');

// Calling writable.writableHighWaterMark 
// Property
writable.writableHighWaterMark;

Output:

hi
GFG
16384

Here, the default value is returned. Example 2:

javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the     
// writable.writableHighWaterMark Property

// Accessing stream module
const stream = require('stream');

// Creating a stream and setting the value
// of the highWaterMark
const writable = new stream.Writable({
    highWaterMark: 1234
});

// Calling writable.writableHighWaterMark 
// Property
writable.writableHighWaterMark;

Output:

Here, the value of highWaterMark which was set while creating Writable stream is returned. Reference: https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_writable_writablehighwatermark
