Package Exports

range-parser

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

Readme

range-parser

Range header field parser.

Installation

This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry. Installation is done using the npm install command:

$ npm install range-parser

API

var parseRange = require('range-parser')

parseRange(size, header, options)

Parse the given header string where size is the maximum size of the resource. An array of ranges will be returned or negative numbers indicating an error parsing.

-2 signals a malformed header string
-1 signals an unsatisfiable range

// parse header from request
var range = parseRange(size, req.headers.range)

// the type of the range
if (range.type === 'bytes') {
  // the ranges
  range.forEach(function (r) {
    // do something with r.start and r.end
  })
}

Options

These properties are accepted in the options object.

combine

Specifies if overlapping & adjacent ranges should be combined, defaults to false. When true, ranges will be combined and returned as if they were specified that way in the header.

parseRange(100, 'bytes=50-55,0-10,5-10,56-60', { combine: true })
// => [
//      { start: 0,  end: 10 },
//      { start: 50, end: 60 }
//    ]
