ip2d

ip2d

ip2d is a lightweight JavaScript library designed to convert IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) and their numeric equivalents. It offers zero-cost conversions between IP address formats, making it ideal for performance-sensitive applications.

Features

• Convert IPv4 to Decimal
• Convert Decimal to IPv4
• Convert IPv6 to BigInt
• Convert BigInt to IPv6

Installation

Install via npm:

npm install ip2d

Usage Examples

Basic IPv4 to Decimal Conversion

Convert an IPv4 address to its decimal form:

const { fromIPv4 } = require("ip2d");

console.log(fromIPv4("127.0.0.1")); // Output: 2130706433

Basic Decimal to IPv4 Conversion

Convert a decimal number back to an IPv4 address:

const { toIPv4 } = require("ip2d");

console.log(toIPv4(2130706433)); // Output: "127.0.0.1"

IPv6 to BigInt Conversion

Convert an IPv6 address string into a BigInt:

import { fromIPv6 } from "ip2d";

const bigIntValue = fromIPv6("2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334");

console.log(bigIntValue); // Output: A BigInt representation of the IPv6 address

BigInt to IPv6 Conversion

Convert a BigInt back into an IPv6 address string:

import { toIPv6 } from "ip2d";

const ipv6Address = toIPv6(BigInt("42540766411282592856906245548098208148"));

console.log(ipv6Address); // Output: "2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334"
