assert-is-equal-uint8array 🛠️

Overview

The assert-is-equal-uint8array library provides a simple and efficient way to test if two arguments are both Uint8Arrays and if they have equal values. This utility is essential for developers who work with binary data in JavaScript, particularly in environments like Node.js.

Installation

To get started with assert-is-equal-uint8array, you need to install it via npm. Run the following command in your terminal:

bash npm install assert-is-equal-uint8array

Usage

Once installed, you can use the library in your JavaScript or Node.js projects. Here’s a simple example:

```javascript const assertIsEqualUint8Array = require('assert-is-equal-uint8array');

const array1 = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]); const array2 = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]); const array3 = new Uint8Array([4, 5, 6]);

console.log(assertIsEqualUint8Array(array1, array2)); // true console.log(assertIsEqualUint8Array(array1, array3)); // false ```

Example Scenarios

1. Equal Uint8Arrays: When two Uint8Arrays have the same values, the function returns true.
2. Different Uint8Arrays: If the values differ, it returns false.
3. Type Checking: If either argument is not a Uint8Array, the function will throw an error.

API

assertIsEqualUint8Array(arr1, arr2)

• Parameters:

  • arr1 - The first Uint8Array to compare.
  • arr2 - The second Uint8Array to compare.

• Returns:

  • true if both arrays are equal.
  • false if they are not equal.
  • Throws an error if either argument is not a Uint8Array.

Example

javascript try { assertIsEqualUint8Array(new Uint8Array([1, 2]), new Uint8Array([1, 2])); // true assertIsEqualUint8Array(new Uint8Array([1, 2]), [1, 2]); // Error } catch (error) { console.error(error.message); }
