npm Version

Packs/Unpacks/Measures structs according to Python's struct format

Installation:

npm install --save python-struct

Usage example:

 
const struct = require('python-struct');
 
struct.sizeOf('>iixxQ10sb'); // --> 29
 
struct.pack('>iixxQ10sb', [1234, 5678, require('long').fromString('12345678901234567890'), 'abcdefg', true]); // --> <Buffer 00 00 04 d2 00 00 16 2e 00 00 ab 54 a9 8c eb 1f 0a d2 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 00 00 00 01>
 
struct.unpack('>iixxQ10sb', Buffer.from('000004d20000162e0000ab54a98ceb1f0ad26162636465666700000001', 'hex')); // --> [ 1234, 5678, 12345678901234567890, 'abcdefg', 1 ]
 

Usage in the browser

The "browser" entry in package.json will automatically redirect to the browser adapter for the package.
But you'll have to npm i buffer in your project.

Notes

When using "native" size & alignment, we do not really have a way to find the native size of alignment of types.
But it's almost always safe to assume that node_adapter.js is compiled for the standard architectures, so native behaves like standard.

If anyone stumbles across a different case, I'll be happy to review it on that specific instance, and figure out what to do.
