Math long
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.
Build Status Publish Status npm
Background
As of ECMA-262 5th Edition, "all the positive and negative integers whose magnitude is no greater than 253 are representable in the Number type", which is "representing the doubleprecision 64-bit format IEEE 754 values as specified in the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic". The maximum safe integer in JavaScript is 253-1.
Example: 264-1 is 18446744073709551615 but in JavaScript it evaluates to 18446744073709552000.
Furthermore, bitwise operators in JavaScript "deal only with integers in the range −231 through 231−1, inclusive, or in the range 0 through 232−1, inclusive. These operators accept any value of the Number type but first convert each such value to one of 232 integer values."
In some use cases, however, it is required to be able to reliably work with and perform bitwise operations on the full 64 bits. This is where math-long comes into play.
Usage
The package exports an ECMAScript module with an UMD fallback.
npm install math-longimport Long from "long";
var value = new Long(0xFFFFFFFF, 0x7FFFFFFF);
console.log(value.toString());
...Note that mixing ESM and CommonJS is not recommended as it yields different classes, albeit with the same functionality.
API
Constructor
new Long(low: number, high?: number, unsigned?: boolean) Constructs a 64 bit two's-complement integer, given its low and high 32 bit values as signed integers. See the from* functions below for more convenient ways of constructing Longs.
Fields
Long#low: number The low 32 bits as a signed value.
Long#high: number The high 32 bits as a signed value.
Long#unsigned: boolean Whether unsigned or not.
Constants
Long.ZERO: Long Signed zero.
Long.ONE: Long Signed one.
Long.NEG_ONE: Long Signed negative one.
Long.UZERO: Long Unsigned zero.
Long.UONE: Long Unsigned one.
Long.MAX_VALUE: Long Maximum signed value.
Long.MIN_VALUE: Long Minimum signed value.
Long.MAX_UNSIGNED_VALUE: Long Maximum unsigned value.
Utility
Long.isLong(obj: *): boolean Tests if the specified object is a Long.
Long.fromBits(lowBits: number, highBits: number, unsigned?: boolean): Long Returns a Long representing the 64 bit integer that comes by concatenating the given low and high bits. Each is assumed to use 32 bits.
Long.fromBytes(bytes: number[], unsigned?: boolean, le?: boolean): Long Creates a Long from its byte representation.
Long.fromBytesLE(bytes: number[], unsigned?: boolean): Long Creates a Long from its little endian byte representation.

Long.fromInt(value: number, unsigned?: boolean): Long Returns a Long representing the given 32 bit integer value.
Long.fromNumber(value: number, unsigned?: boolean): Long Returns a Long representing the given value, provided that it is a finite number. Otherwise, zero is returned.
Long.fromString(str: string, unsigned?: boolean, radix?: number) Long.fromString(str: string, radix: number) Returns a Long representation of the given string, written using the specified radix.
Long.fromValue(val: , unsigned?: boolean): Long Converts the specified value to a Long using the appropriate from function for its type.
