Class Binary

A class representation of the BSON Binary type.

Hierarchy

  • Binary

Index

Constructors

  • new Binary(buffer?: string | BinarySequence, subType?: number): Binary
  • Create a new Binary instance.

    This constructor can accept a string as its first argument. In this case, this string will be encoded using ISO-8859-1, not using UTF-8. This is almost certainly not what you want. Use new Binary(Buffer.from(string)) instead to convert the string to a Buffer using UTF-8 first.

    Parameters

    • Optional buffer: string | BinarySequence

      a buffer object containing the binary data.

    • Optional subType: number

      the option binary type.

    Returns Binary

Deprecated UUID BSON type @deprecated Please use SUBTYPE_UUID

Methods

  • inspect(): string
  • Returns string

  • length(): number
  • the length of the binary sequence

    Returns number

  • put(byteValue: string | number | Uint8Array | Buffer | number[]): void
  • Updates this binary with byte_value.

    Parameters

    • byteValue: string | number | Uint8Array | Buffer | number[]

      a single byte we wish to write.

    Returns void

  • read(position: number, length: number): BinarySequence
  • Reads length bytes starting at position.

    Parameters

    • position: number

      read from the given position in the Binary.

    • length: number

      the number of bytes to read.

    Returns BinarySequence

  • toJSON(): string
  • Returns string

  • toString(format?: string): string
  • Parameters

    • Optional format: string

    Returns string

  • toUUID(): UUID
  • Returns UUID

  • value(asRaw?: boolean): string | BinarySequence
  • Returns the value of this binary as a string.

    remarks

    This is handy when calling this function conditionally for some key value pairs and not others

    Parameters

    • Optional asRaw: boolean

      Will skip converting to a string

    Returns string | BinarySequence

  • write(sequence: string | BinarySequence, offset: number): void
  • Writes a buffer or string to the binary.

    Parameters

    • sequence: string | BinarySequence

      a string or buffer to be written to the Binary BSON object.

    • offset: number

      specify the binary of where to write the content.

    Returns void
