A JavaScript library for dynamically generating, importing, and executing custom encoders using compact-encoding, with support for dependency injection and hash-based integrity verification.
Dynamic Encoder is a powerful JavaScript library designed to create, import, and execute custom encoders dynamically using Data URIs. It is built specifically to work with the compact-encoding
library, allowing you to dynamically generate encoders that comply with compact-encoding standards. The library provides a flexible solution for encoding and decoding data with a focus on modularity, security, and runtime dependency injection.

, and custom dependencies into the dynamically created encoder modules.npm install dynamic-encoder
Dynamic Encoder is built for custom encoders that comply with the compact-encoding standard. The library allows you to dynamically generate, load, and execute encoders while securely handling dependencies and ensuring data integrity.
This example demonstrates how to create and load a custom JSON encoder that follows the compact-encoding interface. The encoder has access to cenc
(from compact-encoding
) and b4a
(buffer-to-array).
import { create, load } from 'dynamic-encoder';
// Define a custom encoder
const customEncoder = {
encode(state, value) {
state.buffer = b4a.from(JSON.stringify(value)); // Encode as JSON
},
decode(state) {
return JSON.parse(state.buffer.toString()); // Decode from JSON
},
preencode(state, value) {
state.length = b4a.byteLength(JSON.stringify(value)); // Precompute buffer length
}
};
// Create the encoder
const { uri, hash } = await create('jsonEncoder', customEncoder);
// Load the encoder module and ensure integrity
const encoder = await load(uri, hash);
// Now you can use the encoder to encode/decode data
const state = { buffer: null };
encoder.preencode(state, { foo: "bar" });
state.buffer = b4a.alloc(state.length);
encoder.encode(state, { foo: "bar" });
const decodedValue = encoder.decode(state);
console.log(decodedValue); // Output: { foo: "bar" }
In this example, we create an encoder that relies on custom dependencies. The create
function automatically injects cenc
, b4a
, and any additional dependencies that the encoder requires.
import { create, load } from 'dynamic-encoder';
// Define a custom encoder with dependencies
const customEncoder = {
encode(state, value) {
state.buffer = b4a.from(value);
},
decode(state) {
return state.buffer.toString();
},
preencode(state, value) {
state.length = b4a.byteLength(value);
}
};
// Create the encoder with a dependency
const { uri, hash } = await create('stringEncoder', customEncoder, {
customDep() {
return "injectedValue";
}
});
// Load the encoder and inject the dependency
const encoder = await load(uri, hash, {
customDep() {
return "injectedValue";
}
});
console.log(encoder.customDep()); // Output: "injectedValue"
All encoders created and loaded through Dynamic Encoder follow the compact-encoding standard. Encoders must provide the following methods:
encode
: Responsible for encoding the value into the state buffer.decode
: Responsible for decoding the value from the state buffer.preencode
: Responsible for precomputing the buffer size needed for encoding.create(encoderName, encoder, dependencies, hasher)
Generates a Data URI and a hash for the given encoder. It automatically injects cenc
, b4a
, and any custom dependencies passed.
encoderName
(optional): The name of the encoder.encoder
: The encoder object with encode
, decode
, and optionally preencode
methods.dependencies
(optional): An object of dependency functions to be injected into the encoder.hasher
(optional): A custom hash function for integrity verification.load(dataUri, expectedHash, hasherOrDeps, dependencies)
Dynamically imports the encoder module and verifies its integrity based on the provided hash. It automatically injects cenc
, b4a
, and any custom dependencies passed.
dataUri
: The Data URI of the dynamically created encoder module.expectedHash
: The hash of the encoder, used for integrity verification.hasherOrDeps
: Either a custom hash function or an object of dependencies.dependencies
: If hasherOrDeps
is a custom hasher, this can be an object of dependencies to inject into the encoder.cenc
and b4a
are exposed automatically in the module, and only the additional dependencies you specify are injected into the encoder module, ensuring that no unwanted side effects or access to sensitive APIs occur.MIT License
