Buffers

Bint provides functions to transform/create array buffers. It lets you convert a bint instance to a ArrayBuffer and it also lets you convert a ArrayBuffer to a bint instance.

Converting bint instances to ArrayBuffers

To convert bint instances to ArrayBuffers, you use the .toBuffer() method in a bint instance.

Example

Recommended to test it in your browser. The test here might not work properly

import bint from "@briklab/net-t"
let a = bint()
a(10)(900)
let b = a.toBuffer()
console.log(b instanceof ArrayBuffer)

import bint from "@briklab/net-t" let a = bint() a(10)(900) let b = a.toBuffer() console.log(b instanceof ArrayBuffer)

Converting Array buffers to bint instances

To convert array buffers to bint instances, you must use the bint.fromBuffer function.

Example

Recommended to test it in your browser. The test here might not work properly

import bint from "@briklab/net-t"
let a = bint()
a(453)(43553534)(Math.random()*1000)
let b = a.toBuffer()
console.log(b)
let c = bint.fromBuffer(b)
console.log(c[0]) // 453!

import bint from "@briklab/net-t" let a = bint() a(453)(43553534)(Math.random()*1000) let b = a.toBuffer() console.log(b) let c = bint.fromBuffer(b) console.log(c[0]) // 453!
