Allocate a buffer containing a provided string.

Package Exports

  • @stdlib/buffer-from-string

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/buffer-from-string) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Allocate a buffer containing a provided string.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/buffer-from-string

Usage

var string2buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer-from-string' );

string2buffer( str[, encoding] )

Allocates a buffer containing a provided string.

var buf = string2buffer( 'beep boop' );
// returns <Buffer>

The default character encoding is utf8. To specify an alternative encoding, provide an encoding argument.

var buf = string2buffer( '7468697320697320612074c3a97374', 'hex' );
// returns <Buffer>

The following encodings are supported:

  • utf8 (utf-8)
  • hex
  • binary
  • ascii
  • ucs2
  • base64

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var randint = require( '@stdlib/random-base-discrete-uniform' );
var string2buffer = require( '@stdlib/buffer-from-string' );

// Create a buffer from a string:
var buf = string2buffer( 'beep boop bop' );
console.log( buf.toString() );

// Generate random strings...
var i;
var j;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    j = randint( 0, buf.length );
    if ( randu() < 2/buf.length ) {
        buf[ j ] = 32; // space
    } else {
        buf[ j ] = randint( 97, 122 );
    }
    console.log( buf.toString() );
}
