# int64-buffer

64bit Long Integer on Buffer/Array/ArrayBuffer in Pure JavaScript

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/int64-buffer.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/int64-buffer) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kawanet/int64-buffer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kawanet/int64-buffer)

[![Sauce Test Status](https://saucelabs.com/browser-matrix/int64-buffer.svg)](https://saucelabs.com/u/int64-buffer)

JavaScript's number based on IEEE-754 could only handle [53 bits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-precision_floating-point_format) precision.
This module provides two pair of classes: `Int64BE`/`Uint64BE` and `Int64LE`/`Uint64LE` which could hold 64 bits long integer and loose no bit.

### Features

- `Int64BE`/`Int64LE` for signed integer, `Uint64BE`/`Uint64LE` for unsigned.
- `Int64BE`/`Uint64BE` for big-endian, `Uint64BE`/`Uint64LE` for little-endian.
- `Buffer`/`Uint8Array`/`Array`/`Array`-like storage of 8 bytes length with offset.
- No mathematical methods provided, such as `add()`, `sub()`, `mul()`, `div()` etc.
- Optimized only for 64 bits. If you need Int128, use [bignum](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bignum) etc.
- Small. 3KB when minified. No other module required. Portable pure JavaScript.
- [Tested](https://travis-ci.org/kawanet/int64-buffer) on node.js v0.10, v0.12, v4, v5, v6 and [Web browsers](https://saucelabs.com/u/int64-buffer).

### Usage

`Int64BE` is the class to host a 64 bit signed long integer `int64_t`.

```js
var Int64BE = require("int64-buffer").Int64BE;

var big = new Int64BE(-1);

console.log(big - 0); // -1

console.log(big.toBuffer()); // <Buffer ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff>
```

It uses `Buffer` on Node.js and `Uint8Array` on modern Web browsers.

`Uint64BE` is the class to host a 64 bit unsigned positive long integer `uint64_t`.

```js
var Uint64BE = require("int64-buffer").Uint64BE;

var big = new Uint64BE(Math.pow(2, 63)); // a big number with 64 bits

console.log(big - 0); // 9223372036854776000 = IEEE-754 loses last bits

console.log(big + ""); // "9223372036854775808" = perfectly correct
```

`Int64LE` and `Uint64LE` works as same as above but with little-endian storage.

### Input Constructor

- new Uint64BE(number)

```js
var big = new Uint64BE(1234567890);
console.log(big - 0); // 1234567890
```

- new Uint64BE(high, low)

```js
var big = new Uint64BE(0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
```

- new Uint64BE(string, radix)

```js
var big = new Uint64BE("123456789abcdef0", 16);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
```

- new Uint64BE(buffer)

```js
var buffer = new Buffer([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
var big = new Uint64BE(buffer);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
```

- new Uint64BE(uint8array)

```js
var uint8array = new Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]);
var big = new Uint64BE(uint8array);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
```

- new Uint64BE(arraybuffer)

```js
var arraybuffer = (new Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8])).buffer;
var big = new Uint64BE(arraybuffer);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
```

- new Uint64BE(array)

```js
var array = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
var big = new Uint64BE(array);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "102030405060708"
```

- new Uint64BE(buffer, offset)

```js
var buffer = new Buffer([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]);
var big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "90a0b0c0d0e0f10"
```

- new Uint64BE(buffer, offset, number)

```js
var buffer = new Buffer(16);
var big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8, 0x1234567890);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "1234567890"
console.log(buffer[15].toString(16)); // "90"
```

- new Uint64BE(buffer, offset, high, low)

```js
var buffer = new Uint8Array(16);
var big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8, 0x12345678, 0x9abcdef0);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
console.log(buffer[15].toString(16)); // "f0"
```

- new Uint64BE(buffer, offset, string, radix)

```js
var buffer = new Array(16);
var big = new Uint64BE(buffer, 8, "123456789abcdef0", 16);
console.log(big.toString(16)); // "123456789abcdef0"
console.log(buffer[15].toString(16)); // "f0"
```
