hex-view

Javascript HEX viewer for buffers/typed arrays

Usage:

Library returns function that accepts 2 agruments (buffer, optionalOptions) and returns string. Buffer can be provided directly or as any object that contains property "buffer" (typed arrays, WebAssembly.Memory ... and so on)

``javascript
const hexView = require('hex-view');
const buffer = new Uint8Array([
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,255,
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,255,
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,255,
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,255
]);

// simple usage with default options
const hexViewString = hexView(buffer); // will print to console and return as string

// you can change any of default options:
hexView(buffer,{
start: 0, // start viewing from given byte number
positionInHex: false, // view byte positions as hex numbers
specialValues: { // can be used to quickly point/filter interesting values
'0': '--'
},
pad: '-', // padding sign
print: true, // print result to console
width: 0, // 0 means that entire console width will be used to view data
group: 1, // amount of presented bytes in a row will be a multiplication of this value
skipEmptyLines: true // skips presenting lines with all bytes equal to zero
});
