bitview

Node BitView
===============================

NodeJS Buffer interface provides a way to manipulate bytes, but what if we needed to manipulate bits?

This library was created to address the gap of a built-in bit interface.

Installation
-----

npm install bitview --save

Initializing a view
-----
new BitView(Length)
new BitView(buffer)
new BitView(buffer, byteOffset, length);
Buffer.from(arg)

##### Parameters:
length: length in bits
buffer: use an existing buffer
arg: Another interface to create a new BitView instance
arg could be an array of bits [1,0,1] or a string '1010' or a buffer.
byteOffset: default 0, starting offset of the bitview.

Methods
-----

$3

flips the value of the bit at location pos

$3

Returns the value of the bit at location pos (0 or 1)

$3

Sets the value of a bit at location pos to v

$3

Returns a string representation of the BitView.

$3

Returns the buffer used by the view.
Properties
-----

$3

Returns length in bits.

Usage:

``javascript
const BitView = require("bitview")

const view= new BitView(10);

view.set(0,true);
console.log(view.get(0)); // true
view.flip(0)
console.log(view.get(0)); // false

const view2=BitView.from('101010');
console.log(view2.get(2)); // true

const view3=BitView.from([1, 0, 1]);
console.log(view3.get(1)); // false
console.log(view3.get(2)); // true
``
Implementation
----------------------
BitView uses bitwise operations to manipulate each bit in a buffer (Low Complexity)
