Is there way to Stream to request instead of saving in directory?

There Please!

Is there a way to steam the created workbook directly to request, instead of saving to the directory first?

var workbook = excelbuilder.createWorkbook(DIRECTORY_PATH, 'file_name.xlsx');
...
 workbook.save(cb)

Answer is much appreciated!

use 0.1.0 by linking directly to github, instead of npm. use generate function. im still figuring out how to get the file correctly, but this seems like it should work (it doesn't open correctly though on my Macintosh, still figuring things out):

     res.writeHead(200, {
                     'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
                     'Content-Length': buffer.length,
                     'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename=acceptable.zip'
                   });
                   res.write(buffer);
                   res.end();

Thanks for your reply, I've managed it saving first on drive upload to cloud then remove from drive :)

workbook.save(function (err) {
    if (!err) {      
      var stream = fs.createReadStream(tempDir + '/' + excelFileName);
      //code to upload to cloud
      fs.unlink(tempDir + '/' + excelFileName);
    }
});

i cannot use the file system because i might host in a PAAS environment. however, i will try downloading the file using AJAX in browser, then use unzip it using same utility from this app, then use filesaver.js to present the file for saving, since regular html5 download + unzipper generates a folder.
