watermanagement-backend-prod/node_modules/token-types

token-types

A primitive token library used to read and write from a node Buffer. Although it is possible to use this module directly, it is primary designed to be used with strtok3 tokenizer.

Compatibility

Module: version 5 migrated from CommonJS to pure ECMAScript Module (ESM). JavaScript is compliant with ECMAScript 2019 (ES10).

Installation

npm install --save token-types

Usually in combination with strtok3:

npm install --save strtok3

Using TypeScript you should also install @tokenizer/token as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev @tokenizer/token

Example

import * as strtok3 from 'strtok3';
import * as token from 'token-types';
    
(async () => {

  const tokenizer = await strtok3.fromFile("somefile.bin");
  try {
    const myNumber = await tokenizer.readToken(token.Float32_BE);
    console.log(`My number: ${myNumber}`);
  } finally {
    tokenizer.close(); // Close the file
  } 
})();

Tokens

Numeric tokens

node-strtok supports a wide variety of numerical tokens out of the box:

Token	Number	Bits	Endianness
UINT8	Unsigned integer	8	n/a
UINT16_BE	Unsigned integer	16	big endian
UINT16_LE	Unsigned integer	16	little endian
UINT24_BE	Unsigned integer	24	big endian
UINT24_LE	Unsigned integer	24	little endian
UINT32_BE	Unsigned integer	32	big endian
UINT32_LE	Unsigned integer	32	little endian
UINT64_BE	Unsigned integer	64	big endian
UINT64_LE*	Unsigned integer	64	little endian
INT8	Signed integer	8	n/a
INT16_BE	Signed integer	16	big endian
INT16_LE	Signed integer	16	little endian
INT24_BE	Signed integer	24	big endian
INT24_LE	Signed integer	24	little endian
INT32_BE	Signed integer	32	big endian
INT32_LE	Signed integer	32	little endian
INT64_BE	Signed integer	64	big endian
INT64_LE*	Signed integer	64	little endian
Float16_BE	IEEE 754 float	16	big endian
Float16_LE	IEEE 754 float	16	little endian
Float32_BE	IEEE 754 float	32	big endian
Float32_LE	IEEE 754 float	32	little endian
Float64_BE	IEEE 754 float	64	big endian
Float64_LE	IEEE 754 float	64	little endian
Float80_BE*	IEEE 754 float	80	big endian
Float80_LE*	IEEE 754 float	80	little endian

Other tokens

String types:

• Windows-1252
• ISO-8859-1

*) The tokens exceed the JavaScript IEEE 754 64-bit Floating Point precision, decoding and encoding is best effort based.

Custom token

Complex tokens can be added, which makes very suitable for reading binary files or network messages:

 ExtendedHeader = {
    len: 10,

    get: (buf, off) => {
      return {
        // Extended header size
        size: Token.UINT32_BE.get(buf, off),
        // Extended Flags
        extendedFlags: Token.UINT16_BE.get(buf, off + 4),
        // Size of padding
        sizeOfPadding: Token.UINT32_BE.get(buf, off + 6),
        // CRC data present
        crcDataPresent: common.strtokBITSET.get(buf, off + 4, 31)
      };
    }
  };
