node-red-node-smaz v0.0.2

node-red-node-smaz

A Node-RED node to pack and unpack strings to smaz format buffers.

Install

Either use the Manage Palette option in the Node-RED Editor menu, or run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm install node-red-node-smaz

Usage

Uses a smaz library to pack and unpack short strings to small buffers.

Note: this node ONLY accepts strings - anything else will just be dropped.

If the input is a string it converts it into a smaz buffer.

If the input is a smaz buffer it converts it back to the original string.
