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

arraybuffer2buffer

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Allocate a buffer from an ArrayBuffer.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/buffer-from-arraybuffer

Usage

var arraybuffer2buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer-from-arraybuffer' );

arraybuffer2buffer( buf[, byteOffset[, length]] )

Allocates a buffer from an ArrayBuffer.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var ab = new ArrayBuffer( 10 );

var buf = arraybuffer2buffer( ab );
// returns <Buffer>

By default, the function allocates a buffer starting from the first byte of the provided ArrayBuffer. To specify an alternative starting index, provide a byteOffset.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var ab = new ArrayBuffer( 10 );

var buf = arraybuffer2buffer( ab, 2 );
// returns <Buffer>

var len = buf.length;
// returns 8

By default, the function allocates a buffer until the end of the provided ArrayBuffer. To allocate a specified number of ArrayBuffer bytes, provide a length.

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var ab = new ArrayBuffer( 10 );

var buf = arraybuffer2buffer( ab, 2, 4 );
// returns <Buffer>

var len = buf.length;
// returns 4

Notes

The behavior of this function varies across Node.js versions due to changes in the underlying Node.js APIs:

  • <3.0.0: the function copies ArrayBuffer bytes to a new Buffer instance.
  • >=3.0.0 and <5.10.0: if provided a byteOffset, the function copies ArrayBuffer bytes to a new Buffer instance; otherwise, the function returns a view of an ArrayBuffer without copying the underlying memory.
  • <6.0.0: if provided an empty ArrayBuffer, the function returns an empty Buffer which is not an ArrayBuffer view.
  • >=6.0.0: the function returns a view of an ArrayBuffer without copying the underlying memory.

Examples

var ArrayBuffer = require( '@stdlib/array-buffer' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN = require( '@stdlib/assert-is-little-endian' );
var arraybuffer2buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer-from-arraybuffer' );

var high;
var view;
var low;
var buf;
var ab;
var i;

// Allocate an ArrayBuffer:
ab = new ArrayBuffer( 64 );

// Create a Float64 view and set random values:
view = new Float64Array( ab );
for ( i = 0; i < view.length; i++ ) {
    view[ i ] = randu();
}

// Create a new buffer from the ArrayBuffer:
buf = arraybuffer2buffer( ab );

// Read the high and low words for each double:
for ( i = 0; i < view.length; i++ ) {
    if ( IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN ) {
        high = buf.readUInt32LE( (8*i)+4 );
        low = buf.readUInt32LE( 8*i );
    } else {
        high = buf.readUInt32BE( 8*i );
        low = buf.readUInt32BE( (8*i)+4 );
    }
    console.log( 'Value: %d. High: %d. Low: %d.', view[ i ], high, low );
}
