Package Exports

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

usage

convert file buffer to array buffer

const fs = require("fs");
const toab = require("toab");

const buffer = fs.readFileSync("test.png");
const arrayBuffer = await toab(buffer);

    const arrayBuffer = await toab(file);
});

convert data url to array buffer

// the context comes from a canvas element 
const url = context.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
// url is data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABA"
const arrayBuffer = await toab(url);

convert data view to array buffer

const arrayBuffer = await toab(dataView)

convert typed arrays to array buffers

const arrayBuffer = await toab(uint8Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(int16Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(uint16Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(int32Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(uint32Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(float32Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(float64Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(bigInt64Array)
const arrayBuffer = await toab(bigUint64Array)

convert text to an array buffer (in UTF-8)

const arrayBuffer = await toab("Hello, I'm a String.");

convert fetch Response to an array buffer
