Use stream.Readable.from

[Richienb]

stream.Readable.from was added in Node.js v12.3.0 and v10.17.0, allowing for easier conversion to Readable Streams:

const {Readable} = require('stream');

Readable.from('🦄🌈').pipe(process.stdout);

As well as this, it also supports generator functions:

const {Readable} = require('stream');

async function * generate() {
  yield '🦄';
  yield '🌈';
}

Readable.from(generate()).pipe(process.stdout);

Perhaps we could utilise this here?

Doesn't that API make this package moot?

[Richienb]

@sindresorhus It does. We should either backport the generator function support or link to the API and deprecate this package.

It's not feasible to use that API for Node.js 10 projects, since it's a recent addition, and from experience, no one updates Node.js minor versions. I have added a note in the readme about Node.js 12. I'll deprecate this package sometime in the future when Node.js 10 is obsolete.
