Nodejs readfile binary options

If called outside of an asynchronous context initialized by calling asyncLocalStorage. Transitions into the context for the remainder of the current synchronous execution and then persists the store through any following asynchronous calls. This transition will continue for the entire synchronous execution. This means that if, for example, the context is entered within an event handler subsequent event handlers will also run within that context unless specifically bound to another context with an AsyncResource.

That is why run should be preferred over enterWith unless there are strong reasons to use the latter method. Runs a function synchronously within a context and returns its return value. The store is not accessible outside of the callback function or the asynchronous operations created within the callback.

If the callback function throws an error, the error is thrown by run too. The stacktrace is not impacted by this call and the context is exited. Runs a function synchronously outside of a context and returns its return value. The store is not accessible within the callback function or the asynchronous operations created within the callback. Any getStore call done within the callback function will always return undefined.

If the callback function throws an error, the error is thrown by exit too. The stacktrace is not impacted by this call and the context is re-entered. If, within an async function, only one await call is to run within a context, the following pattern should be used:.

In this example, the store is only available in the callback function and the functions called by foo. Outside of run , calling getStore will return undefined. In most cases your application or library code should have no issues with AsyncLocalStorage. But in rare cases you may face situations when the current store is lost in one of asynchronous operations. In those cases, consider the following options.

If your code is callback-based, it is enough to promisify it with util. If you need to keep using callback-based API, or your code assumes a custom thenable implementation, use the AsyncResource class to associate the asynchronous operation with the correct execution context.

Buffer objects are used to represent a fixed-length sequence of bytes. Many Node. The Buffer class is a subclass of JavaScript's Uint8Array class and extends it with methods that cover additional use cases. The Buffer class is within the global scope, making it unlikely that one would need to ever use require 'buffer'. When converting between Buffer s and strings, a character encoding may be specified.

If no character encoding is specified, UTF-8 will be used as the default. Many web pages and other document formats use UTF This is the default character encoding. Unlike 'utf8' , each character in the string will be encoded using either 2 or 4 bytes. Each character is encoded using a single byte. Characters that do not fit into that range are truncated and will be mapped to characters in that range.

Converting a Buffer into a string using one of the above is referred to as decoding, and converting a string into a Buffer is referred to as encoding. For binary-to-text encodings, the naming convention is reversed: Converting a Buffer into a string is typically referred to as encoding, and converting a string into a Buffer as decoding.

Whitespace characters such as spaces, tabs, and new lines contained within the baseencoded string are ignored. When creating a Buffer from a string, this encoding will also correctly accept regular baseencoded strings. When encoding a Buffer to a string, this encoding will omit padding. Data truncation may occur when decoding strings that do exclusively contain valid hexadecimal characters.

See below for an example. When encoding a string into a Buffer , this is equivalent to using 'latin1'. When decoding a Buffer into a string, using this encoding will additionally unset the highest bit of each byte before decoding as 'latin1'. Generally, there should be no reason to use this encoding, as 'utf8' or, if the data is known to always be ASCII-only, 'latin1' will be a better choice when encoding or decoding ASCII-only text.

It is only provided for legacy compatibility. See binary strings for more background on this topic. The name of this encoding can be very misleading, as all of the encodings listed here convert between strings and binary data. For converting between strings and Buffer s, typically 'utf-8' is the right choice. In Node. This means that while doing something like http. All TypedArray methods are available on Buffer s.

There are two ways to create new TypedArray instances from a Buffer :. When creating a Buffer using a TypedArray 's. The Buffer. Specifically, the TypedArray variants accept a second argument that is a mapping function that is invoked on every element of the typed array:. Additionally, the buf. A Blob encapsulates immutable, raw data that can be safely shared across multiple worker threads. Creates and returns a new Blob containing a subset of this Blob objects data.

The original Blob is not alterered. The data contained by the Blob is copied only when the arrayBuffer or text methods are called. The Buffer class is a global type for dealing with binary data directly. It can be constructed in a variety of ways. Attempting to fill a non-zero length buffer with a zero length buffer triggers a thrown exception. Allocates a new Buffer of size bytes.

If fill is undefined , the Buffer will be zero-filled. If size is larger than buffer. If fill is specified, the allocated Buffer will be initialized by calling buf. If both fill and encoding are specified, the allocated Buffer will be initialized by calling buf. Calling Buffer. The underlying memory for Buffer instances created in this way is not initialized.

The contents of the newly created Buffer are unknown and may contain sensitive data. Use Buffer. The Buffer module pre-allocates an internal Buffer instance of size Buffer. Use of this pre-allocated internal memory pool is a key difference between calling Buffer. Specifically, Buffer. The difference is subtle but can be important when an application requires the additional performance that Buffer. A zero-length Buffer is created if size is 0. Use buf. When using Buffer.

This allows applications to avoid the garbage collection overhead of creating many individually allocated Buffer instances. This approach improves both performance and memory usage by eliminating the need to track and clean up as many individual ArrayBuffer objects. However, in the case where a developer may need to retain a small chunk of memory from a pool for an indeterminate amount of time, it may be appropriate to create an un-pooled Buffer instance using Buffer.

Returns the byte length of a string when encoded using encoding. This is not the same as String. For 'base64' , 'base64url' , and 'hex' , this function assumes valid input. Compares buf1 to buf2 , typically for the purpose of sorting arrays of Buffer instances. This is equivalent to calling buf1. Returns a new Buffer which is the result of concatenating all the Buffer instances in the list together.

If the list has no items, or if the totalLength is 0, then a new zero-length Buffer is returned. If totalLength is not provided, it is calculated from the Buffer instances in list by adding their lengths. If totalLength is provided, it is coerced to an unsigned integer. If the combined length of the Buffer s in list exceeds totalLength , the result is truncated to totalLength. Allocates a new Buffer using an array of bytes in the range 0 — Array entries outside that range will be truncated to fit into it.

A TypeError will be thrown if array is not an Array or another type appropriate for Buffer. This creates a view of the ArrayBuffer without copying the underlying memory. For example, when passed a reference to the. The optional byteOffset and length arguments specify a memory range within the arrayBuffer that will be shared by the Buffer.

It is important to remember that a backing ArrayBuffer can cover a range of memory that extends beyond the bounds of a TypedArray view. A new Buffer created using the buffer property of a TypedArray may extend beyond the range of the TypedArray :. A TypeError will be thrown if buffer is not a Buffer or another type appropriate for Buffer.

For objects whose valueOf function returns a value not strictly equal to object , returns Buffer. For objects that support Symbol. A TypeError will be thrown if object does not have the mentioned methods or is not of another type appropriate for Buffer. Creates a new Buffer containing string. The encoding parameter identifies the character encoding to be used when converting string into bytes.

A TypeError will be thrown if string is not a string or another type appropriate for Buffer. Returns true if obj is a Buffer , false otherwise. Returns true if encoding is the name of a supported character encoding, or false otherwise. This is the size in bytes of pre-allocated internal Buffer instances used for pooling. This value may be modified. The index operator [index] can be used to get and set the octet at position index in buf. The values refer to individual bytes, so the legal value range is between 0x00 and 0xFF hex or 0 and decimal.

This operator is inherited from Uint8Array , so its behavior on out-of-bounds access is the same as Uint8Array. In other words, buf[index] returns undefined when index is negative or greater or equal to buf. This ArrayBuffer is not guaranteed to correspond exactly to the original Buffer.

See the notes on buf. When setting byteOffset in Buffer. This can cause problems when accessing the underlying ArrayBuffer directly using buf. A common issue when creating a TypedArray object that shares its memory with a Buffer is that in this case one needs to specify the byteOffset correctly:.

Compares buf with target and returns a number indicating whether buf comes before, after, or is the same as target in sort order. Comparison is based on the actual sequence of bytes in each Buffer. The optional targetStart , targetEnd , sourceStart , and sourceEnd arguments can be used to limit the comparison to specific ranges within target and buf respectively.

Copies data from a region of buf to a region in target , even if the target memory region overlaps with buf. TypedArray set performs the same operation, and is available for all TypedArrays, including Node. Creates and returns an iterator of [index, byte] pairs from the contents of buf. Returns true if both buf and otherBuffer have exactly the same bytes, false otherwise. Equivalent to buf. Fills buf with the specified value.

If the offset and end are not given, the entire buf will be filled:. If the final write of a fill operation falls on a multi-byte character, then only the bytes of that character that fit into buf are written:. If value contains invalid characters, it is truncated; if no valid fill data remains, an exception is thrown:. When encoding is being passed, the byteOffset parameter is no longer required.

If value is not a string, number, or Buffer , this method will throw a TypeError. If value is a number, it will be coerced to a valid byte value, an integer between 0 and If byteOffset is not a number, it will be coerced to a number. If the result of coercion is NaN or 0 , then the entire buffer will be searched. This behavior matches String indexOf. If value is an empty string or empty Buffer and byteOffset is less than buf. If value is empty and byteOffset is at least buf. Creates and returns an iterator of buf keys indices.

Identical to buf. This behavior matches String lastIndexOf. If value is an empty string or empty Buffer , byteOffset will be returned. Reads a signed, big-endian bit integer from buf at the specified offset. Reads a signed, little-endian bit integer from buf at the specified offset. Reads an unsigned, big-endian bit integer from buf at the specified offset. Reads an unsigned, little-endian bit integer from buf at the specified offset.

Removed noAssert and no implicit coercion of the offset to uint32 anymore. Removed noAssert and no implicit coercion of the offset and byteLength to uint32 anymore. Reads byteLength number of bytes from buf at the specified offset and interprets the result as a big-endian, two's complement signed value supporting up to 48 bits of accuracy.

Reads byteLength number of bytes from buf at the specified offset and interprets the result as a little-endian, two's complement signed value supporting up to 48 bits of accuracy. Reads byteLength number of bytes from buf at the specified offset and interprets the result as an unsigned big-endian integer supporting up to 48 bits of accuracy. Reads byteLength number of bytes from buf at the specified offset and interprets the result as an unsigned, little-endian integer supporting up to 48 bits of accuracy.

Returns a new Buffer that references the same memory as the original, but offset and cropped by the start and end indices. Specifying end greater than buf. This method is inherited from TypedArray subarray. Modifying the new Buffer slice will modify the memory in the original Buffer because the allocated memory of the two objects overlap. Specifying negative indexes causes the slice to be generated relative to the end of buf rather than the beginning.

This method is not compatible with the Uint8Array. To copy the slice, use Uint8Array. Interprets buf as an array of unsigned bit integers and swaps the byte order in-place. One convenient use of buf. Interprets buf as an array of bit numbers and swaps byte order in-place. Returns a JSON representation of buf. In particular, Buffer.

Decodes buf to a string according to the specified character encoding in encoding. The maximum length of a string instance in UTF code units is available as buffer. Creates and returns an iterator for buf values bytes. This function is called automatically when a Buffer is used in a for.. Writes string to buf at offset according to the character encoding in encoding. The length parameter is the number of bytes to write. If buf did not contain enough space to fit the entire string, only part of string will be written.

However, partially encoded characters will not be written. Writes value to buf at the specified offset as big-endian. Writes value to buf at the specified offset as little-endian. The value must be a JavaScript number.

Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than a JavaScript number. Writes value to buf at the specified offset. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than a signed 8-bit integer. The value must be a valid signed bit integer. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than a signed bit integer. Writes byteLength bytes of value to buf at the specified offset as big-endian. Supports up to 48 bits of accuracy. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than a signed integer.

Writes byteLength bytes of value to buf at the specified offset as little-endian. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than an unsigned 8-bit integer. The value must be a valid unsigned bit integer. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than an unsigned bit integer. Behavior is undefined when value is anything other than an unsigned integer.

See Buffer. This variant of the constructor is equivalent to Buffer. While, the Buffer object is available as a global, there are additional Buffer -related APIs that are available only via the buffer module accessed using require 'buffer'. Returns the maximum number of bytes that will be returned when buf. This can be overridden by user modules. See util.

An alias for buffer. Re-encodes the given Buffer or Uint8Array instance from one character encoding to another. Returns a new Buffer instance. Throws if the fromEnc or toEnc specify invalid character encodings or if conversion from fromEnc to toEnc is not permitted. Encodings supported by buffer. The transcoding process will use substitution characters if a given byte sequence cannot be adequately represented in the target encoding.

For instance:. This was never a class in the sense that the constructor always returned a Buffer instance, rather than a SlowBuffer instance. This value is also available as buffer. Represents the largest length that a string primitive can have, counted in UTF code units. In versions of Node.

Because the behavior of new Buffer is different depending on the type of the first argument, security and reliability issues can be inadvertently introduced into applications when argument validation or Buffer initialization is not performed. For example, if an attacker can cause an application to receive a number where a string is expected, the application may call new Buffer instead of new Buffer "" , leading it to allocate a byte buffer instead of allocating a 3 byte buffer with content "".

Since JSON distinguishes between numeric and string types, it allows injection of numbers where a naively written application that does not validate its input sufficiently might expect to always receive a string. Before Node. Since Node. However, other attacks are still possible, such as causing very large buffers to be allocated by the server, leading to performance degradation or crashing on memory exhaustion.

To make the creation of Buffer instances more reliable and less error-prone, the various forms of the new Buffer constructor have been deprecated and replaced by separate Buffer. Developers should migrate all existing uses of the new Buffer constructors to one of these new APIs. Buffer instances returned by Buffer. Instances returned by Buffer. Without the option, buffers created with Buffer.

Use of this flag can have a measurable negative impact on performance. Use the --zero-fill-buffers option only when necessary to enforce that newly allocated Buffer instances cannot contain old data that is potentially sensitive. When calling Buffer. While this design makes the allocation of memory quite fast, the allocated segment of memory might contain old data that is potentially sensitive. Using a Buffer created by Buffer. While there are clear performance advantages to using Buffer.

The require function can load addons as ordinary Node. V8 provides the mechanisms for creating objects, calling functions, etc. V8's API is documented mostly in the v8. It also serves as a cross-platform abstraction library, giving easy, POSIX-like access across all major operating systems to many common system tasks, such as interacting with the filesystem, sockets, timers, and system events.

Internal Node. See Linking to libraries included with Node. All of the following examples are available for download and may be used as the starting-point for an addon. In the hello. There are environments in which Node.

For example, the Electron runtime runs multiple instances of Node. Each instance will have its own require cache, and thus each instance will need a native addon to behave correctly when loaded via require. This means that the addon must support multiple initializations. An addon can thus be initialized as in the following example:. The choice to build a context-aware addon carries with it the responsibility of carefully managing global static data.

Since the addon may be loaded multiple times, potentially even from different threads, any global static data stored in the addon must be properly protected, and must not contain any persistent references to JavaScript objects. The reason for this is that JavaScript objects are only valid in one context, and will likely cause a crash when accessed from the wrong context or from a different thread than the one on which they were created.

The context-aware addon can be structured to avoid global static data by performing the following steps:. This will ensure that the per-addon-instance data reaches each binding that can be called from JavaScript. The per-addon-instance data must also be passed into any asynchronous callbacks the addon may create. In order to be loaded from multiple Node. In order to support Worker threads, addons need to clean up any resources they may have allocated when such a thread exists.

This can be achieved through the usage of the AddEnvironmentCleanupHook function:. This function adds a hook that will run before a given Node. If necessary, such hooks can be removed before they are run using RemoveEnvironmentCleanupHook , which has the same signature.

Callbacks are run in last-in first-out order. If necessary, there is an additional pair of AddEnvironmentCleanupHook and RemoveEnvironmentCleanupHook overloads, where the cleanup hook takes a callback function. This can be used for shutting down asynchronous resources, such as any libuv handles registered by the addon. Once the source code has been written, it must be compiled into the binary addon. To do so, create a file called binding.

This file is used by node-gyp , a tool written specifically to compile Node. A version of the node-gyp utility is bundled and distributed with Node. This version is not made directly available for developers to use and is intended only to support the ability to use the npm install command to compile and install addons.

Developers who wish to use node-gyp directly can install it using the command npm install -g node-gyp. See the node-gyp installation instructions for more information, including platform-specific requirements. Once the binding. Next, invoke the node-gyp build command to generate the compiled addon. When using npm install to install a Node. Once built, the binary addon can be used from within Node. Because the exact path to the compiled addon binary can vary depending on how it is compiled i.

While the bindings package implementation is more sophisticated in how it locates addon modules, it is essentially using a try…catch pattern similar to:. All addons are required to link to V8 and may link to any of the other dependencies as well.

However, there are a few caveats to be aware of:. When node-gyp runs, it will detect the specific release version of Node. If the full source is downloaded, addons will have complete access to the full set of Node. However, if only the Node. Using this option, the addon will have access to the full set of dependencies.

The filename extension of the compiled addon binary is. The require function is written to look for files with the. When calling require , the. One caveat, however, is that Node. For instance, if there is a file addon. Each of the examples illustrated in this document directly use the Node. With each change, addons may need to be updated and recompiled in order to continue functioning.

The Node. The Native Abstractions for Node. See the nan examples for an illustration of how it can be used. It is independent from the underlying JavaScript runtime e. V8 and is maintained as part of Node. It is intended to insulate addons from changes in the underlying JavaScript engine and allow modules compiled for one version to run on later versions of Node.

The only difference is the set of APIs that are used by the native code. Instead of using the V8 or Native Abstractions for Node. Creating and maintaining an addon that benefits from the ABI stability provided by N-API carries with it certain implementation considerations. All other instructions remain the same. Following are some example addons intended to help developers get started. The examples use the V8 APIs. Refer to the online V8 reference for help with the various V8 calls, and V8's Embedder's Guide for an explanation of several concepts used such as handles, scopes, function templates, etc.

In cases where there is more than one. Addons will typically expose objects and functions that can be accessed from JavaScript running within Node. The following example illustrates how to read function arguments passed from JavaScript and how to return a result:.

The following example illustrates how to invoke such callbacks:. This example uses a two-argument form of Init that receives the full module object as the second argument. This allows the addon to completely overwrite exports with a single function instead of adding the function as a property of exports.

An object is created and returned with a property msg that echoes the string passed to createObject :. In myobject. Below, the method plusOne is exposed by adding it to the constructor's prototype:. To build this example, the myobject. The destructor for a wrapper object will run when the object is garbage-collected. For destructor testing, there are command-line flags that can be used to make it possible to force garbage collection. These flags are provided by the underlying V8 JavaScript engine.

They are subject to change or removal at any time. They are not documented by Node. Alternatively, it is possible to use a factory pattern to avoid explicitly creating object instances using the JavaScript new operator:. This method takes the place of using new in JavaScript:. Once again, to build this example, the myobject. The following examples shows a function add that can take two MyObject objects as input arguments:.

It is independent from the underlying JavaScript runtime for example, V8 and is maintained as part of Node. It is intended to insulate Addons from changes in the underlying JavaScript engine and allow modules compiled for one major version to run on later major versions of Node. The ABI Stability guide provides a more in-depth explanation.

The APIs have the following properties:. Take, for example, the following node-addon-api code. The first section shows the node-addon-api code and the second section shows what actually gets used in the addon. The end result is that the addon only uses the exported C APIs. Thus, for an addon to remain ABI-compatible across Node.

Unlike modules written in JavaScript, developing and deploying Node. Besides the basic tools required to develop for Node. GCC is widely used in the Node. For many developers, the LLVM compiler infrastructure is also a good choice. For Mac developers, Xcode offers all the required compiler tools. However, it is not necessary to install the entire Xcode IDE. The following command installs the necessary toolchain:. For Windows developers, Visual Studio offers all the required compiler tools.

The sections below describe the additional tools available for developing and deploying Node. GYP, and therefore node-gyp, requires that Python be installed. Historically, node-gyp has been the tool of choice for building native addons. It has widespread adoption and documentation.

However, some developers have run into limitations in node-gyp. The three tools listed here permit native addon developers and maintainers to create and upload binaries to public or private servers. Unlike node-pre-gyp which supports a variety of servers, prebuild uploads binaries only to GitHub releases. The advantage of prebuildify is that the built binaries are bundled with the native module when it's uploaded to npm.

The binaries are downloaded from npm and are immediately available to the module user when the native module is installed. In order to ensure compatibility with specific versions of N-API, the version can be specified explicitly when including the header:. This restricts the N-API surface to just the functionality that was available in the specified and earlier versions. N-API versions are additive and versioned independently from Node.

Version 4 is an extension to version 3 in that it has all of the APIs from version 3 with some additions. This means that it is not necessary to recompile for new versions of Node. The API is different in versions prior to Node. We recommend N-API version 3 or later. APIs are directly usable when using a Node.

When using a Node. If an API appears not to be available on a version of Node. For those implementations the Node. In the example below, addon. This ensures that addon. Section 8. Multiple such Agents may be started and terminated either concurrently or in sequence by the process. A Node. In the main process, an environment is created at startup, and additional environments can be created on separate threads to serve as worker threads. When Node. From the perspective of a native addon this means that the bindings it provides may be called multiple times, from multiple contexts, and even concurrently from multiple threads.

Native addons may need to allocate global state which they use during their entire life cycle such that the state must be unique to each instance of the addon. To this end, N-API provides a way to allocate data such that its life cycle is tied to the life cycle of the Agent.

This API associates data with the currently running Agent. If no data is set, the call will succeed and data will be set to NULL. Integral status code indicating the success or failure of a N-API call. Currently, the following status codes are supported.

This structure is passed to native functions when they're invoked, and it must be passed back when making N-API calls. This is an abstraction used to control and modify the lifetime of objects created within a particular scope.

In general, N-API values are created within the context of a handle scope. When a native method is called from JavaScript, a default handle scope will exist. If the user does not explicitly create a new handle scope, N-API values will be created in the default handle scope. For any invocations of code outside the execution of a native method for instance, during a libuv callback invocation , the module is required to create a scope before invoking any functions that can result in the creation of JavaScript values.

For more details, review the Object lifetime management. Escapable handle scopes are a special type of handle scope to return values created within a particular handle scope to a parent scope. This allows for users to manage the lifetimes of JavaScript values, including defining their minimum lifetimes explicitly. A bit value stored as two unsigned bit integers. Opaque datatype that is passed to a callback function. It can be used for getting additional information about the context in which the callback was invoked.

Callback functions should satisfy the following signature:. Function pointer type for add-on provided functions that allow the user to be notified when externally-owned data is ready to be cleaned up because the object with which it was associated with, has been garbage-collected. The user must provide a function satisfying the following signature which would get called upon the object's collection.

Function pointer used with functions that support asynchronous operations. Callback functions must satisfy the following signature:. Function pointer used with asynchronous thread-safe function calls. The callback will be called on the main thread. It will be called when the environment is being torn down.

The following sections explain the approach for each case. All of the N-API functions share the same error handling pattern. See the section on exceptions for more details. In some cases it is useful to be able to get more detailed information, including a string representing the error as well as VM engine -specific information.

Do not rely on the content or format of any of the extended information as it is not subject to SemVer and may change at any time. It is intended only for logging purposes. This is the case for any of the API functions, even those that may not cause the execution of JavaScript.

However, this is not the case for all functions. N-API allows a subset of the functions to be called to allow for some minimal cleanup before returning to JavaScript. It will not reflect previous pending exceptions. To avoid confusion, check the error status after every function call. The first approach is to do any appropriate cleanup and then return so that execution will return to JavaScript.

As part of the transition back to JavaScript, the exception will be thrown at the point in the JavaScript code where the native method was invoked. The second approach is to try to handle the exception. There will be cases where the native code can catch the exception, take the appropriate action, and then continue.

This is only recommended in specific cases where it is known that the exception can be safely handled. On success, result will contain the handle to the last JavaScript Object thrown. The goal is for applications to use these error codes for all error checking. The associated error messages will remain, but will only be meant to be used for logging and display with the expectation that the message can change without SemVer applying.

If the optional parameter is NULL then no code will be associated with the error. If a code is provided, the name associated with the error is also updated to be:. Trigger an 'uncaughtException' in JavaScript. Useful if an async callback throws an exception with no way to recover. In the event of an unrecoverable error in a native module, a fatal error can be thrown to immediately terminate the process.

These handles must hold the objects 'live' until they are no longer required by the native code, otherwise the objects could be collected before the native code was finished using them. As object handles are returned they are associated with a 'scope'. The lifespan for the default scope is tied to the lifespan of the native method call. The result is that, by default, handles remain valid and the objects associated with these handles will be held live for the lifespan of the native method call.

In many cases, however, it is necessary that the handles remain valid for either a shorter or longer lifespan than that of the native method. The sections which follow describe the N-API functions that can be used to change the handle lifespan from the default. It is often necessary to make the lifespan of handles shorter than the lifespan of a native method.

For example, consider a native method that has a loop which iterates through the elements in a large array:. This would result in a large number of handles being created, consuming substantial resources. In addition, even though the native code could only use the most recent handle, all of the associated objects would also be kept alive since they all share the same scope. To handle this case, N-API provides the ability to establish a new 'scope' to which newly created handles will be associated.

Once those handles are no longer required, the scope can be 'closed' and any handles associated with the scope are invalidated. N-API only supports a single nested hierarchy of scopes. There is only one active scope at any time, and all new handles will be associated with that scope while it is active. Scopes must be closed in the reverse order from which they are opened. In addition, all scopes created within a native method must be closed before returning from that method.

When nesting scopes, there are cases where a handle from an inner scope needs to live beyond the lifespan of that scope. N-API supports an 'escapable scope' in order to support this case. An escapable scope allows one handle to be 'promoted' so that it 'escapes' the current scope and the lifespan of the handle changes from the current scope to that of the outer scope.

This API closes the scope passed in. Scopes must be closed in the reverse order from which they were created. This API promotes the handle to the JavaScript object so that it is valid for the lifetime of the outer scope. It can only be called once per scope. If it is called more than once an error will be returned. In some cases an addon will need to be able to create and reference objects with a lifespan longer than that of a single native method invocation.

For example, to create a constructor and later use that constructor in a request to creates instances, it must be possible to reference the constructor object across many different instance creation requests. The lifespan of a normal handle is managed by scopes and all scopes must be closed before the end of a native method. N-API provides methods to create persistent references to an object.

Each persistent reference has an associated count with a value of 0 or higher. The count determines if the reference will keep the corresponding object live. References with a count of 0 do not prevent the object from being collected and are often called 'weak' references. Any count greater than 0 will prevent the object from being collected.

That section describes the usage of Buffers for paths. I also don't think that this should be mentioned in fs. It's part of Buffer, not something specific to fs. Closing since there seems to be a consensus that the behavior is correct and doesn't need special mention in fs. So why not use arraybuffer. Since node. Because slices are new objects and put extra stress on the garbage collector.

A have corrupt buffers that usually just happen to work, but will occasionally cause bugs - the hardest kinds of bugs to track down TimothyGu addaleax B extra garbage collection bnoordhuis C update the documentation seishun D some other option of which I'm unaware. Also, could someone please provide a code sample of how to do what I'm trying to do?

I would say that deprecating NodeBuffers in favor of ArrayBuffers i. I also recognize that ArrayBuffers are sub-par. However, I'm more in favor of the JavaScript community benefiting as a whole with cross-platform compatible code than the convenience of NodeBuffers. A have corrupt buffers that usually just happen to work, but will occasionally cause bugs - the hardest kinds of bugs to track down TimothyGu addaleax.

They aren't corrupt. TypedArrays allow creating views of a specific portion of an ArrayBuffer. Could someone please provide a code sample of how to do what I'm trying to do? I guess it's nb. Not sure if there's a more elegant way to do this, but I wonder why exactly you need an ArrayBuffer slice when a view covers all imaginable needs.

The slice method returns a new ArrayBuffer whose contents are a copy of this ArrayBuffer's bytes from begin, inclusive, up to end, exclusive. I get what you're saying that the bytes that are read from the file aren't corrupt bytes, but what I mean is that when I get back a buffer that has different bytes than the bytes I expect i. The slice method does not alter. It returns a shallow copy of elements from the original typed array.

My understanding is that such as shallow copy would mean a slice, not an actual copy of the individual elements which would be a deep copy. I suppose that could be interpreted either way, but since a shallow copy of each element individually is exactly the same as a deep copy, I interpreted it to mean a slice, which would be different from a deep copy. Perhaps I am incorrect and it should read "deep copy" to avoid confusion. Again, why do you care about the. What are you going to do with it?

You can't "parse" an ArrayBuffer, you need a view on it, and Buffer is already such a view. I don't see the words "shallow copy" on the page you linked? You're probably confusing it with TypedArray. I'm writing a dns parser, packer, and linter that works in node and on chromebooks and in normal browsers and also a network tunneler and a number of other things on the horizon.

Because ArrayBuffer is the cross-platform standard and it will work in all three I'm using it and TypedArray for all binary operations moving forward. Maybe I'll slice the typed array to get the buffer then. I wish that the people in charge of all these JavaScript committees were actually using JavaScript for JavaScript's sake and trying to do interesting things in JavaScript rather than just make it look and work more like C and Ruby It's so frustrating that the few things that we're getting in the spec that aren't just syntax sugar, but actually enable new things that weren't possible before, have had so little practical consideration when node has been doing some of these interesting things much longer and has had some very good implementations that could have been learned from.

ArrayBuffers should be copy-on-write and TypedArrays should be Endian sensitive and Promises should have had error handling specified. All sorts of other things
