import { encodeInto } from "https://deno.land/x/bencodex@0.2.2/mod.ts";
Encodes a value into the given buffer.
This does not allocate a new buffer, and fills the given buffer with the encoded value from the beginning. If you want to fill the buffer from somewhere else, pass a sliced subarray of the buffer to this function.
Examples
Encoding a Bencodex list into a pre-allocated buffer
Encoding a Bencodex list into a pre-allocated buffer
const buffer = new Uint8Array(100);
const state = encodeInto(["foo", 123n], buffer);
if (!state.complete) console.error("Failed to encode the value");
else console.log(buffer.subarray(0, state.written));
// Uint8Array(13) [ 0x6c, 0x75, 0x33, 0x3a, 0x66, 0x6f, 0x6f, 0x69, 0x31,
// 0x32, 0x33, 0x65, 0x65 ]
Parameters
value: Value
A value to encode.
A buffer that the encoded value will be written into. This buffer will be modified.
optional
options: NonAllocEncodingOptions = [UNSUPPORTED]Encoding options.
