LoByte

A small JavaScript utility library for low-level byte manipulation.

Installation

Using npm:
``
npm i -g npm
npm i --save lobyte
`

Usage

Useful constants for Int/Uint 8/16/32:
`javascript
({ Int8 } = require('lobyte'));

console.log(Int8.min); // -> -128
console.log(Int8.max); // -> 127
console.log(Int8.bitSize); // -> 8
console.log(Int8.byteSize); // -> 1
console.log(Int8.mask); // -> 0xFF
`
String formatting for hexidecimal numbers, zero-padded as appropriate for the byte size of the given type:
`javascript
({ Int8, Int16 } = require('lobyte'));

console.log(Int8.hex(11)); // -> '0b'
console.log(Int16.hex(11)); // -> '000b'
`
A dynamically growing byte array with DataView-like accessors for get, set, and push:
`javascript
({ ByteArray, Endianness, Uint32 } = require('lobyte'));

const bytes = new ByteArray(Endianness.Big);

bytes.pushInt8(1); // Append a zero byte.
bytes.pushUint8([2, 3, 4]); // Append 3 more bytes.
console.log(Uint32.hex(bytes.getUint32(0))); // -> '01020304'

bytes.endianness = Endianness.Little;
console.log(Uint32.hex(bytes.getUint32(0))); // -> '04030201'
