Package description
The 'to-arraybuffer' npm package is designed to convert various data types into ArrayBuffer objects in JavaScript. This is particularly useful in web development for handling binary data efficiently.
Convert string to ArrayBuffer
This feature allows you to convert a string into an ArrayBuffer, enabling binary data manipulation of string content.
const toArrayBuffer = require('to-arraybuffer');
const buffer = toArrayBuffer('Hello World');Convert Buffer to ArrayBuffer
Converts a Node.js Buffer into an ArrayBuffer. Useful for scenarios where you need to work with APIs that accept ArrayBuffers.
const toArrayBuffer = require('to-arraybuffer');
const buffer = Buffer.from('Hello World');
const arrayBuffer = toArrayBuffer(buffer);Similar to 'to-arraybuffer', this package provides functionality to convert a Buffer to an ArrayBuffer. It is specifically tailored for Buffer conversions and does not handle other data types.
While not identical in functionality, 'typedarray-to-buffer' converts a TypedArray or an ArrayBuffer into a Buffer. It serves the reverse purpose compared to 'to-arraybuffer' but is useful for handling binary data in different formats.
Readme
Convert from a Buffer to an ArrayBuffer as fast as possible.
Note that in some cases the returned ArrayBuffer is backed by the same memory as the original Buffer (but in other cases it is a copy), so modifying the ArrayBuffer is not recommended.
This module is designed to work both in node.js and in all browsers with ArrayBuffer support when using the Buffer implementation provided by Browserify.
var toArrayBuffer = require('to-arraybuffer')
var buffer = new Buffer(100)
// Fill the buffer with some data
var ab = toArrayBuffer(buffer)
// `ab` now contains the same data as `buffer`
