buffer-string-decoder

This pacage was designed for decoding result of fs.readFile in Node.js backend, and it was updated to version 1.0.1 .
The file that you pass to decoder must be a Json file and the data in it must be in Json format.

Note! It is updated version 1.0.1 and it may still contain bugs

Installation

npm install buffer-string-decoder

Usage

If you use fs.readFile:

``
const bufferStringDecoder = require('buffer-string-decoder');

const db = fs.readFile(
'file/path/db.json',
'utf8',
(err) => {
if (err) {
return err.message
}
}
);

const decodedBuffer = bufferStringDecoder(db);
`

If you need for some reason to make buffer from js object, then use it like this:

`
const bufferStringDecoder = require('buffer-string-decoder');

const array = ['some value', 'some value', 'another value'];

const buffer = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(array), 'utf-8');

const stringBuffer = buffer.toString();

const decodedBuffer = bufferStringDecoder(stringBuffer);
`

As for now it resolves:

Simple objects like this:

`image
{
id: 'some id',
someProperty: 'some value',
anotherProperty: 'another value'
}
`

Simple arrays like this:

`image
[
'some value',
'another value',
'123'
]
`

Note! Pass numbers to simple array only as string, other way decoder will work not correctly.

Arrays of object like this:

`image
const array = [
{
id: 'ffrf',
userName: 'Some user name',
friends: [
{
id: 'hfg',
userName: 'some user name',
},
{
id: 'kdd',
userName: 'some user name',
},
]
}
];
`

And more complicated arrays of objects like this in all variations:

`image
const array = [
{
id: 'ffrf',
userName: 'some user name',
fullName: 'Some Full Name',
lastLogin: 'Fri March 15 2022',
friends: [
{
id: 'hfg',
userName: 'some user name',
fullName: 'Some Full Name',
lastLogin: 'Fri March 15 2022',
},
{
id: 'kdd',
userName: 'some user name',
fullName: 'Some Full Name',
lastLogin: 'Fri March 15 2022',
},
],
activities: [
{
id: 'fbpl',
activityName: 'Football',
achievements: '1st place on university tournament',
},
{
id: 'votp',
activityName: 'voleiball',
achievements: 'took part in university competitions',
},
],
autorisation: {
login: 'some login',
password: 'some password',
someProperty: [
{
id: 'votp',
activityName: 'voleiball',
achievements: [
'took part in school competitions',
'took part in university competitions',
],
},
{
id: 'fbpl',
achievements: [
'took part in school competitions',
'1st place on university tournament',
'took part in student national tournament',
],
activityName: 'Football',
},
],
},
},
];
