Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ByteBit

Efficient representation of byte composed of bits.

Install

Install via npm:

npm install --save @krigga/bytebit

Usage

Note

Most operations will work in little-endian-like mode, meaning that bit 0 (0th bit) is the least significant one. The exceptions are:

  • the constructor when the 2nd argument is set to falsy
  • string conversion

Example

const ByteBit = require('@krigga/bytebit');

const myByte = new ByteBit(200);

console.log(myByte.toString()); // 11001000
console.log([...myByte]); // [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 ]
console.log(myByte[1], myByte[3]); // 1 0

myByte[1] = 0;
myByte[2] = 1;

console.log(myByte.toString()); // 11001100
console.log(0 + myByte); // 204

Create byte

From unsigned byte integer

const myByte = new ByteBit(200);

console.log(myByte.toString()); // 11001000

From bits array

const myByte = new ByteBit([ 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0 ], false); // 2nd parameter controls *endianness*

console.log(myByte.toString()); // 11001000

You can also pass in Booleans:

const myByte = new ByteBit([ true, true, false, false, true, false, false, false ], false);

console.log(myByte.toString()); // 11001000

Iterator

const myByte = new ByteBit(200);

console.log([...myByte]); // [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1 ]

Array-like access

const myByte = new ByteBit(200);

// get
console.log(myByte[1], myByte[7]); // 0 1

// set
myByte[7] = 0;
myByte[2] = 1;

console.log(myByte.toString()); // 01001100

Treat as a number

const myByte = new ByteBit(200);

console.log(myByte == 200); // true
console.log(myByte + 0); // 200
console.log(new Number(myByte)); // [Number: 200]

String with bits

const myByte = new ByteBit(200);

console.log(new String(myByte)); // [String: '11001000']
console.log(myByte.toString()); // '11001000'

Methods

For those who want to use function calls.

assign(bits, offset = 0)

Assigns array of bits to an instance. Example: byte.assign([0, 1], 1) means "set bit 1 = 0 and bit 2 = 1".

getBit(offset)

Returns a bit from requested offset in range from 0 to 7.

setBit(offset, bit)

Sets a bit on requested offset in range from 0 to 7.

bit must be a Number (0 or 1) or a Boolean.

getByte()

Returns the byte as an unsigned byte integer.

getChar()

Returns ASCII character from the byte.
