Fixed size multiplexer 
A tiny library for multiplexing data chunks into blocks of fixed size and vice versa
This library works in Node and in Browser environments (UMD) and is optimized for very small size.
How to install
npm install fixed-size-multiplexer
How to use
Node.js:
const {Multiplexer, Demultiplexer} = require('fixed-size-multiplexer')
// Do stuffBrowser:
requirejs(['fixed-size-multiplexer'], function ({Multiplexer, Demultiplexer}) {
// Do stuff
})API
Multiplexer(max_data_length : number, block_size : number) : Multiplexer
Constructor used to create Multiplexer instance.
-
max_data_length- Max size of data in bytes (influences data header size) -
block_size- Size of one block of data
Multiplexer.feed(data : Uint8Array)
Feed chunk of data into multiplexer.
Multiplexer.have_more_blocks() : boolean
Returns true if there are some blocks with useful data left.
Multiplexer.get_block() : Uint8Array
Get block, potentially with useful data. If no useful data left, will return zeroes (which can be fed into demultiplexer without issues).
Demultiplexer(max_data_length : number, block_size : number) : Demultiplexer
Constructor used to create Demultiplexer instance.
-
max_data_length- Max size of data in bytes (influences data header size) -
block_size- Size of one block of data
Demultiplexer.feed(block : Uint8Array)
Feed block, potentially with useful data, into demultiplexer.
Demultiplexer.have_more_data() : boolean
Returns true if there are complete chunks with useful data present.
Demultiplexer.get_data() : null|Uint8Array
Get chunk of useful data. If no complete chunk of useful data present yet, returns null.
tests/index.ls contains usage examples.
