hex_conversion

A package for conversion of hexadecimal string to the specified data type.

hex_conversion APIs

1. getParsedHexValue(hexString, dataType)

   Converts hexadecimal string to the specified 'dataType'.

   Parameters

   • hexString: hexadecimal string to be converted.
   • dataType: data type to which the hexadecimal string has to be converted.

   Possible Conversions(from hex string)

   1. Float(dataType = "FLOAT"): 32/64 bit floating point number.
   2. Real(dataType = "REAL"): 32-bit single-precision floating point number.
   3. LReal(dataType = "LREAL"): 64-bit double-precision floating point number.
   4. Date(dataType = "DATE"): Date(MM-DD-YYYY).
   5. Int(dataType = "INT"): 16-bit integer.
   6. Short Int(dataType = "SINT"): 8-bit integer.
   7. Signed Large Int(dataType = "DINT"): 32-bit integer.
   8. Time Of Day(dataType = "TOD"): Time of day(unsigned integer in milliseconds, with zero equal to midnight).
   9. Unsigned Int(dataType = "UINT"): 32-bit unsigned integer.
   10. Unisgned Short Int(dataType = "USINT"): 8-bit short(small) integer.
   11. Unsigned Large Int(dataType = "UDINT"): 64-bit unsigned large integer.
   12. Time(dataType = "TIME"): Time(integer).
   13. Word(dataType = "WORD"): 16-bit unsigned integer.
   14. Double Word(dataType = "DWORD"): 32-bit unsigned integer.

   Example

   const { getParsedHexValue } = require("hex_conversion");
   
   let hexString = "0x4378028f";
   let dataType = "FLOAT";
   
   let result = getParsedHexValue(hexString, dataType);
   console.log(result);
   

   Output

Steps to publish package:

1. Make necessary changes to code and push.
2. On cmd, put "npm login"
3. It will then ask for username, password, and OTP. Username: gautam031098 Password: gautamnaik@336699 Email Id: gautam.naik1998@gmail.com 4.Then change version by running command: npm version patch/minor/major patch: for backward compatible bug fixes=> 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 minor: for backward compatible new features=> 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 major: for changes that break backward compatibility=> 1.0.0 to 2.0.0
4. Finally run command "npm publish". Here it will ask for OTP and then package will get published.
5. Update the version of package wherever you are using the package in your project and then deploy.
