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 🙏

bigint-conversion

Convert to/from non-negative integers represented with ES-2020 native JS implementation of BigInt from/to:

  • Buffer (node.js) or ArrayBuffer|TypedArray (native js),
  • hex string,
  • utf8-encoded text string,
  • standard and url-safe base64 with and without padding.

It provides a common interface for the conversions that works for both node.js and native javascript.

Note that there is not a directly visible TypedArray() constructor, but a set of typed array ones: Int8Array(), Uint8Array(), Uint8ClampedArray(), Int16Array(), Uint16Array(), Int32Array(), Uint32Array(), Float32Array(), Float64Array(), BigInt64Array(), BigUint64Array().

Usage

bigint-conversion can be imported to your project with npm:

npm install bigint-conversion

Then either require (Node.js CJS):

const bigintConversion = require('bigint-conversion')

or import (JavaScript ES module):

import * as bigintConversion from 'bigint-conversion'

The appropriate version for browser or node is automatically exported.

BigInt is ES-2020. In order to use it with TypeScript you should set target (and probably also lib) to at least es2020 in tsconfig.json.

You can also download the IIFE bundle, the ESM bundle or the UMD bundle and manually add it to your project, or, if you have already installed bigint-conversion in your project, just get the bundles from node_modules/bigint-conversion/dist/bundles/.
