Save string as gridFS file

[Linus Ericsson]

Hi!

I'm trying to save a string as a gridFS file, but how do I coerce from string to a InputStream or similar?

Now I'm somewhere at

(def string-to-save "Hello World!")

(insert-file! :filecollection string-to-save :filename "myfile.txt") but GridFS wants a stream. 

What is the best way to convert a string to a javastream that GridFS can eat?

You should be able to store a string by getting it as a byte array.
See the tests:

https://github.com/aboekhoff/congomongo/blob/master/test/somnium/test/congomongo.clj#L383

(let [f (insert-file! :testfs (.getBytes "toasted")
:filename "muffin" :contentType "food/breakfast")]
