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

msgpack5  CI

A msgpack v5 implementation for node.js and the browser, with extension point support.

Install

npm install msgpack5 --save

Usage

var msgpack = require('msgpack5')() // namespace our extensions
  , a       = new MyType(2, 'a')
  , encode  = msgpack.encode
  , decode  = msgpack.decode

msgpack.register(0x42, MyType, mytipeEncode, mytipeDecode)

console.log(encode({ 'hello': 'world' }).toString('hex'))
// 81a568656c6c6fa5776f726c64
console.log(decode(encode({ 'hello': 'world' })))
// { hello: 'world' }
console.log(encode(a).toString('hex'))
// d5426161
console.log(decode(encode(a)) instanceof MyType)
// true
console.log(decode(encode(a)))
// { value: 'a', size: 2 }

function MyType(size, value) {
  this.value = value
  this.size  = size
}

function mytipeEncode(obj) {
  var buf = new Buffer(obj.size)
  buf.fill(obj.value)
  return buf
}

function mytipeDecode(data) {
  var result = new MyType(data.length, data.toString('utf8', 0, 1))
    , i

  for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    if (data.readUInt8(0) != data.readUInt8(i)) {
      throw new Error('should all be the same')
    }
  }

  return result
}

In the Browser

This library is compatible with Browserify.

If you want to use standalone, grab the file in the dist folder of this repo, and use in your own HTML page, the module will expose a msgpack5 global.

<script type="text/javascript"
        src="./msgpack5.min.js">
</script>

To build

	npm run build

API

API

  • msgpack()
  • msgpack().encode()
  • msgpack().decode()
  • msgpack().registerEncoder()
  • msgpack().registerDecoder()
  • msgpack().register()
  • msgpack().encoder()
  • msgpack().decoder()

msgpack(options(obj))

Creates a new instance on which you can register new types for being encoded.

options:

  • forceFloat64, a boolean to that forces all floats to be encoded as 64-bits floats. Defaults to false.
  • sortKeys, a boolean to force a determinate keys order
  • compatibilityMode, a boolean that enables "compatibility mode" which doesn't use bin format family and str 8 format. Defaults to false.
  • disableTimestampEncoding, a boolean that when set disables the encoding of Dates into the timestamp extension type. Defaults to false.
  • preferMap, a boolean that forces all maps to be decoded to Maps rather than plain objects. This ensures that decode(encode(new Map())) instanceof Map and that iteration order is preserved. Defaults to false.
  • protoAction, a string which can be error|ignore|remove that determines what happens when decoding a plain object with a __proto__ property which would cause prototype poisoning. error (default) throws an error, remove removes the property, ignore (not recommended) allows the property, thereby causing prototype poisoning on the decoded object.

encode(object)

Encodes object in msgpack, returns a bl.


decode(buf)

Decodes buf from in msgpack. buf can be a Buffer or a bl instance.

In order to support a stream interface, a user must pass in a bl instance.


registerEncoder(check(obj), encode(obj))

Register a new custom object type for being automatically encoded. The arguments are:

  • check, a function that will be called to check if the passed object should be encoded with the encode function
  • encode, a function that will be called to encode an object in binary form; this function must return a Buffer which include the same type for registerDecoder.

registerDecoder(type, decode(buf))

Register a new custom object type for being automatically decoded. The arguments are:

  • type, is a greater than zero integer identificating the type once serialized
  • decode, a function that will be called to decode the object from the passed Buffer

register(type, constructor, encode(obj), decode(buf))

Register a new custom object type for being automatically encoded and decoded. The arguments are:

  • type, is a greater than zero integer identificating the type once serialized
  • constructor, the function that will be used to match the objects with instanceof
  • encode, a function that will be called to encode an object in binary form; this function must return a Buffer that can be deserialized by the decode function
  • decode, a function that will be called to decode the object from the passed Buffer

This is just a commodity that calls registerEncoder and registerDecoder internally.


encoder(options)

Builds a stream in object mode that encodes msgpack.

Supported options:

  • wrap, objects should be passed to encoder in wrapped object {value: data}. Wrap option should be used if you need to pass null to encoder.

decoder(options)

Builds a stream in object mode that decodes msgpack.

Supported options:

  • wrap, decoded objects returned in wrapped object {value: data}. Wrap option should be used if stream contains msgpack nil.

LevelUp Support

msgpack5 can be used as a LevelUp valueEncoding straight away:

var level = require('level')
  , pack  = msgpack()
  , db    = level('foo', {
      valueEncoding: pack
    })
  , obj   = { my: 'obj' }

db.put('hello', obj, function(err) {
  db.get('hello', function(err, result) {
    console.log(result)
    db.close()
  })
})
