node-packet-reader
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Handy little well tested module for reading length-prefixed binary packets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since buffers come off a socket in randomly sized chunks you can't expect them to cleanly
|
||
|
|
break on packet boundaries. This module allows you to push buffers in and read
|
||
|
|
full packets out the other side, so you can get to parsing right away and not have
|
||
|
|
to manage concatenating partial buffers and searching through them for packets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
` $ npm install packet-reader `
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var Reader = require('packet-reader')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var reader = new Reader()
|
||
|
|
//assuming you have a socket emitting `data` events
|
||
|
|
socket.on('data', function(buffer) {
|
||
|
|
reader.addChunk(buffer)
|
||
|
|
var packet = reader.read()
|
||
|
|
while(packet) {
|
||
|
|
//do something with fully parsed packet
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
here's a more full featured example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let's assume our "packet" for our protocol is 32-bit Big Endian length-prefixed strings
|
||
|
|
so a "hello world" packet would look something like [length, string]
|
||
|
|
`[0, 0, 0 0x0B, h, e, l, l, o, w, o, r, l, d]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var Transform = require('stream').Transform
|
||
|
|
var Reader = require('packet-reader')
|
||
|
|
var reader = new Reader()
|
||
|
|
var parser = new Transform()
|
||
|
|
parser._transform = function(chunk, encoding, cb) {
|
||
|
|
reader.addChunk(chunk)
|
||
|
|
var packet = reader.read()
|
||
|
|
while(packet) {
|
||
|
|
this.push(packet.toString('utf8'))
|
||
|
|
packet = reader.read()
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
cb()
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var server = net.createServer(function(socket) {
|
||
|
|
socket.pipe(parser).pipe(stdout)
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few config options for setting optional pre-length padding byte. Read the tests for details.
