int64-node

int64-node is a JavaScript library that provides support for handling 64-bit integer numbers in Node.js. JavaScript's native Numbers are represented as IEEE 754 double-precision floats, which limits the range of values that can be accurately represented to ยฑ2^53. For projects requiring precise 64-bit integer handling, such as node-thrift, int64-node comes to the rescue.

Table of Contents

Installation

You can install int64-node via npm:

npm install int64-node

Usage

Creating Int64 Instances

// Require the int64-node module const Int64 = require('int64-node'); // Create Int64 instances const int1 = new Int64(0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0); const int2 = new Int64('123456789abcdef0');

Performing Arithmetic Operations

// Perform arithmetic operations const result1 = int1 + 1; // 4886718346 const result2 = int2 + 1; // Infinity

Converting to Different Representations

// Convert to different representations const octetString1 = int1.toOctetString(); // '0000000123456789' const octetString2 = int2.toOctetString(); // '123456789abcdef0' const binaryString1 = int1.toString(2); // '100100011010001010110011110001001' const binaryString2 = int2.toString(2); // 'Infinity'

Checking Integer Precision

// Check if the value is within integer-precise range const isInt1Finite = isFinite(int1); // true const isInt2Finite = isFinite(int2); // false

Copying to a Buffer

// Copy to a buffer const buffer1 = int1.toBuffer(); // <Buffer 12 34 56 78 9a bc de f0> const buffer2 = new Buffer(16); int2.copy(buffer2, 0); // Copies the Int64 value to the buffer

Creating Int64 Instances from a Buffer

// Create Int64 instances from a Buffer const intFromBuffer = new Int64(new Buffer([0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x9a, 0xbc, 0xde, 0xf0])); // Create Int64 instances from a Buffer with an offset const intFromOffset = new Int64(new Buffer([0, 0, 0, 0, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x9a, 0xbc, 0xde, 0xf0]), 4);
