@tokenizer/range

Adapter to designed to convert strtok3 tokenizer to RFC-7233 range requests.

It is an abstract module which implements the range request mechanism which can be used by different implementations, like:

• @tokenizer/http: An HTTP(S) client
• @tokenizer/s3: An Amazon S3 client

Compatibility

This module can be used both in the browser and in Node.js.

Installation

Install using npm:

npm install @tokenizer/range

or using yarn:

yarn add @tokenizer/range

Usage

(async () => {
  const config = {
    avoidHeadRequests: false
  };

  let rangeRequestClient; // HTTP implementation, or HTTP cloud access adaptor

  const tokenizer = await rangeRequestTokenizer.tokenizer(rangeRequestClient, config);
})();

Range-request-client

The IRangeRequestClient defines the interface to map, presumably an HTTP client, to the range request mechanism.

/**
 * Implementation of the range-request-client
 */
export interface IRangeRequestClient {

  /**
   * Head request to determine the size and MIME-type of the file
   * @return HEAD-request information
   */
  getHeadInfo?(): Promise<IHeadRequestInfo>;

  /**
   *
   * @param method - HTTP method
   * @param range - Array of 2 numbers: The range-start and range-end. An integer indicating the beginning and the end of range request in bytes.
   * @return Range request response
   */
  getResponse(method: string, range?: [number, number]): Promise<IRangeRequestResponse>;
}

For further details of the interface see: lib/types.ts

Example implementations of the IRangeRequestClient interface:

• @tokenizer/s3
• @tokenizer/http
