# EnumerableToStream [Nuget package][nuget]

Converts an ```IEnumerable``` to a ```Stream```:

```csharp

using EnumerableToStream;

IEnumerable enumerable = new [] {"Hello, ", "world!"};

Stream stream = enumerable.ToStream();

```

## Points of interest

* The enumerable is evaluated lazily as the stream is read.

* The enumerable is properly disposed of when the stream is closed.

* ToStream() does zero allocations on .NET Standard 2.1 compatible runtimes.

* ToStream() supports encodings: `enumerable.ToStream(Encoding.UTF8);`

* ToStream() accepts both `IEnumerable` and `IAsyncEnumerable`.

  If you use the async version, you will need to call `stream.ReadAsync()` rather than `Read()`.

## Using in ASP.NET Core

Streaming query results to the client in a memory efficient manner:

```csharp

public IActionResult Get()

{

    IEnumerable lines = GetLines();

    Stream stream = lines.AddLineEndings().ToStream();

    return File(stream, "text/csv");

}

```
