The zlib.createDeflateRaw() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the Zlib module which is used to create a new DeflateRaw object. Syntax:
zlib.createDeflateRaw( options )
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter options which is an optional parameter that holds the zlib options. Return Value: It returns a new DeflateRaw object. Below examples illustrate the use of zlib.createDeflateRaw() method in Node.js: Example 1: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the     
// createDeflateRaw() method

// Including zlib and fs module
const zlib = require("zlib");
const fs = require('fs');

// Creating readable Stream
const inp = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');

// Creating writable stream
const out = fs.createWriteStream('input.txt.gz');

// Calling createDeflateRaw method
const defR = zlib.createDeflateRaw();

// Piping
inp.pipe(defR).pipe(out);
console.log("Program Completed!");
Output:
Program Completed!
Example 2: javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the     
// createDeflateRaw() method

// Including zlib and fs module
const zlib = require("zlib");
const fs = require('fs');

// Creating readable Stream
const inp = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');

// Creating writable stream
const out = fs.createWriteStream('input.txt.gz');

// Calling createDeflateRaw method
const defR = zlib.createDeflateRaw();

// Piping
inp.pipe(out).pipe(defR);
console.log("Program Completed!");
Output:
Error [ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE]: Cannot pipe, not readable

Here, piping is not done in a proper order so, error is thrown. Reference: https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#zlib_zlib_createdeflateraw_options
