Streaming length prefixed buffers with async iterables
Encode/decode streams of bytes with length-prefixes.
import { pipe } from 'it-pipe'
import * as lp from 'it-length-prefixed'
const encoded = []
// encode
await pipe(
[uint8ArrayFromString('hello world')],
(source) => lp.encode(source),
async source => {
for await (const chunk of source) {
encoded.push(chunk.slice()) // (.slice converts Uint8ArrayList to Uint8Array)
}
}
)
console.log(encoded)
// => [Buffer <0b 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>]
const decoded = []
// decode
await pipe(
encoded, // e.g. from above
(source) => lp.decode(source),
async source => {
for await (const chunk of source) {
decoded.push(chunk.slice()) // (.slice converts Uint8ArrayList to Uint8Array)
}
}
)
console.log(decoded)
// => [Buffer <68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>]
