Buffer Factory - (中文版README)

buffer-factory makes it no pain to create a Buffer object by encapsulate Buffer.from an new Buffer().

This module has been well unit tested and documented.

Usage

install

npm i buffer-factory

use

const bufferFactory = require('buffer-factory')
bufferFactory.create('2b', 'hex');

// deprecated
bufferFactory('2b', 'hex');

Implementation

Buffer.from is preffered to be used when it's accessible.

Buffer.from is added from v5.10.0, as the api document shows. But some node version, v4.2.6 for example, Buffer.from is a function, however, there is an error when you call Buffer.from(string, encoding)(error like hex is not function). So I also take the node version into account.

For low versions of Node.js, this module use new Buffer(...).

You're free to pass in the same params as Buffer.from(...) and new Buffer(...), I will handle the rest for you.

You're also free to check index.js for the implementation code :).
