Streaming length prefixed buffers with async iterables

About

Encode/decode streams of bytes with length-prefixes.

Example

import { pipe } from 'it-pipe'
import * as lp from 'it-length-prefixed'

const encoded = []

// encode
await pipe(
  [uint8ArrayFromString('hello world')],
  (source) => lp.encode(source),
  async source => {
    for await (const chunk of source) {
      encoded.push(chunk.slice()) // (.slice converts Uint8ArrayList to Uint8Array)
    }
  }
)

console.log(encoded)
// => [Buffer <0b 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>]

const decoded = []

// decode
await pipe(
  encoded, // e.g. from above
  (source) => lp.decode(source),
  async source => {
    for await (const chunk of source) {
      decoded.push(chunk.slice()) // (.slice converts Uint8ArrayList to Uint8Array)
    }
  }
)

console.log(decoded)
// => [Buffer <68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>]
