Package Exports

bencodec
bencodec/lib/index.js

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 (bencodec) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Getting Started

Decode data

By default, all strings will be parsed as buffers

import bencodec from 'bencodec';

const result = bencodec.decode( 'd3:bar4:spam3:fooi42ee' );
// result = { bar: <Buffer 73 70 61 6d>, foo: 42 }

To convert buffers to strings add stringify option

const result = bencodec.decode( 'd3:bar4:spam3:fooi42ee', { stringify: true } );
// result = { bar: 'spam', foo: 42 }

Encode data

By default method encode will return buffer

import bencodec from 'bencodec';

const result = bencodec.encode({ bar: 'spam', foo: 42 });  
// result = <Buffer 64 33 ... 65 65>

To convert buffer to string add stringify option

const result = bencodec.encode({ bar: 'spam', foo: 42 }, { stringify: true });
// result = 'd3:bar4:spam3:fooi42ee'
