ChicageBoss controller API has this
{stream, Generator::function(), Acc0}
Stream a response to the client using HTTP chunked encoding. For each chunk, the Generator function is passed an accumulator (initally Acc0) and should return either {output, Data, Acc1} or done.
I am wondering what is the use case for this? There are others like Json, output. When will this stream
be useful?
Can someone present an use case in real world?
Serving large files for download might be the most straight-forward use case.
You could argue that there are also other ways to serve files so that users can download them, but these might have other disadvantages:
{output, BinaryContent, CustomHeader}
. But that might become tricky if you want to serve large files like disk images.
