buffer-tag v1.0.2

A simpler way to write buffer literals in your code.

Installation

npm i buffer-tag --save

Usage

import { utf8, hex } from 'buffer-tag';
// or const { utf8 } = require('buffer-tag);

You can use utf8, hex, etc has string templates:

const buffer = utf8`foo bar`; //same as Buffer.from('foo bar', 'utf8');

You can also embed other strings with the same encoding:

const foobar = hex`666f6f${'626172'}`

You can embed (which means concat) buffers:

const bar = utf8`bar`;
const foobar = hex`666f6f${bar}`

console.log(foobar.toString('utf8'));
// outputs foobar
