How to have a writable stream write to nowhere?

Question

My issue here is that I have a stream pipeline set up like.

readableStream.pipe(transformStream).pipe(writableStream);

I don't really want the writable stream to write anywhere, I'm just using it so that the buffer of my transform stream doesn't get backed up. How could I make the writable stream write to an empty destination?

You can write it to /dev/null, there's an npm package for that https://www.npmjs.com/package/dev-null
