Long.js: A Long class for representing a 64-bit two's-complement integer value derived from the Closure Library extended with unsigned support.

Package Exports

  • long

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

Readme

Long.js

A Long class for representing a 64-bit two's-complement integer value derived from the Closure Library for stand-alone use and extended with unsigned support.

Why?

As of the ECMAScript specification, number types have a maximum value of 2^53. Beyond that, JavaScript falls back to double internally. Furthermore, bitwise operations are always performed on 32bit numbers. However, in some use cases it is required to be able to perform reliable mathematical and/or bitwise operations on the full 64bits. This is where Long.js comes into play.

Long.js is based on the goog.math.Long class from the Closure Library. It uses two 32bit integers internally and provides methods for comparison, common tests, math and bitwise operations on the full 64bits. Additionally, some use cases also require to work with 64bit unsigned values, so Long.js has been extended with unsigned support while maintaining compatibility to the Closure Library implementation.

Features

  • CommonJS compatible
  • RequireJS/AMD compatible
  • Shim compatible (include the script, then use var Long = dcodeIO.Long;)
  • node.js compatible, also available via npm
  • Fully documented using jsdoc3
  • Zero production dependencies
  • Small footprint

Long

  • Construction from high and low bits as 32bit integers: new Long(low, high[, unsigned=false]) and Long.fromBits(low, high[, unsigned=false])
  • ...from a 32bit integer: Long.fromInt(value[, unsigned=false]) including a cache for frequently used small numbers
  • ...from a number which may internally be a number or double type: Long.fromNumber(value[, unsigned=false])
  • ...from a string: Long.fromString(value[, unsigned=false, radix=10])
  • Conversion to a 32bit integer: Long#toInt()
  • ...to a number: Long#toNumber()
  • ...to a string: Long#toString([radix=10])
  • Getters for high and low bits as 32bit integers: Long#getLowBits(), Long#getHighBits() and Long#getLowBitsUnsigned(), Long#getHighBitsUnsigned()
  • Comparison: Long#equals(other), Long#notEquals(other), Long#lessThan(other), Long#lessThanOrEqual(other), Long#greaterThan(other), Long#greaterThanOrEqual(other), Long#compare(other)
  • Common tests: Long#isZero(), Long#isNegative(), Long#isOdd(), Long#isEven()
  • Math: Long#negate(), Long#add(other), Long#subtract(other), Long#multiply(other), Long#div(other), Long#modulo(other)
  • Bitwise operations: Long#not(), Long#and(other), Long#or(other), Long#xor(other), Long#shiftLeft(numBits), Long#shiftRight(numBits), Long#shiftRightUnsigned(numBits)
  • Conversion between signed and unsinged: Long.toSigned(), Long.toUnsigned()

Usage

node.js / CommonJS

Install: npm install long

var Long = require("Long");
var longVal = new Long(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF);
console.log(longVal.toString());
...

RequireJS / AMD

require.config({
    "paths": {
        "Math/Long": "/path/to/Long.js"
    }
});
require(["Math/Long"], function(Long) {
    var longVal = new Long(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF);
    console.log(longVal.toString());
});

Browser / shim

<script src="//raw.github.com/dcodeIO/Long.js/master/Long.min.js"></script>
var Long = dcodeIO.Long;
var longVal = new Long(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF);
alert(longVal.toString());
