Can the Couchbase NodeJS SDK return a JSON document as a raw JSON string, without parsing it first?

Hello. so I’m returning a stream of user’s projects from a NestJS route (example simplified for clarity):

@Get('/user/projects')
  async streamProjects(
    @Req() req: FastifyRequest,
    @Res() res: FastifyReply
  ) {
    const readableStream = new Readable({
      read() {},
    });

    const query = `SELECT a.*
            FROM default:db.scope.projects a 
            WHERE a.userId='${req.userId}' 
            AND a.archived=false
            ORDER BY a.updated DESC;`;

    const queryStream = CouchbaseService.scope.query<ProjectType>(query);
    queryStream.on('row', (projectRow: ProjectType) => {
        readableStream.push(JSON.stringify(projectRow) + '\r\n');
      });
    queryStream.on('end', () => {
        readableStream.push(null);
      });

    setStreamHeaders(res);
    readableStream.pipe(res.raw);
  }

as you can see, I have to call JSON.stringify on every document that I am returning to the user, which to me seemed inefficient because the documents are already stored as JSON in Couchbase.

I think you answered accurately that currently QueryOptions does not allow to specify a transcoder. So this should be a feature request : allow QueryOptions to specify to return the documents as strings, or allow it to specify a transcoder.

Send the Json document as is
