numbytes v1.0.4

Node.js package providing functionality for parsing javascript number(s) to unsigned bytes, filled in an array.

Installation

Using npm:

npm install numbytes --save

Usage in Node

var Primitives = require('numbytes').Primitives;
 
console.log("INT32 min value:", Primitives.int32.min); // Outputs: "INT32 min value: -2147483648"
console.log("INT32 max value:", Primitives.int32.max); // Outputs: "INT32 max value: 2147483647"
console.log("INT32 bytes:", Primitives.int32.bytes); // Outputs: "INT32 bytes: 4"

/**
 * Outputs:
 * 
 * INT32 min value: -2147483648
 * INT32 max value: 2147483647
 * INT32 bytes: 4
 */

 var SingleValueParser = require('numbytes').SingleValueParser;
 var singleValParserInst = new SingleValueParser();

 var MultiValueParser = require('numbytes').MultiValueParser;
 var multiValParserInst = new MultiValueParser(singleValParserInst); // Takes a SingleValueParser instance

 const int32Bytes = singleValParserInst.numberToBytes(Primitives.int32, 1234);
 console.log(int32Bytes);
 /**
  * Outputs:
  *
  * [210, 4, 0, 0]
  */

var taskQueue = new MultiValueParser.ParseTaskQueue(13); // 13 is the overall bytes count
                                                         // that the parsed byte array should have
taskQueue.addParseTask(Primitives.int32, 928374);
taskQueue.addParseTask(Primitives.uint64, 1231231231343234354);
taskQueue.addParseTask(Primitives.uint8, 237);

// With the current configuration the task queue accepts exactly 13 bytes.
// Attempting to add more values to parse will throw an Error.
// An error will be thrown as well as if an invalid value is passed for
// a primitive type, e.g:
//      let value = 1000;
//      taskQueue.addParseTask(Primitives.uint8, value);
//      0 <= value <= 255


taskQueue.padZeros(true); // This is optional, by default is set to true. If there are parse 
                          // tasks for primitives less than 13 bytes, the result array will be
                          // filled with zeros for the remaining slots.
                        
var multiBytesArray = multiValParserInst.parseMultiple(taskQueue);
console.log(multiBytesArray);

 /**
  * Outputs:
  *
  * [118, 42, 14, 0, 0, 141, 148, 20, 72, 54, 22, 17, 237]
