getBytesDecoder

getBytesDecoder(): VariableSizeDecoder<ReadonlyUint8Array>

Returns a decoder for raw byte arrays.

This decoder reads byte arrays exactly as provided without modification.

The decoded byte array extends from the provided offset to the end of the input.

• To enforce a fixed size, consider using fixDecoderSize.
• To add a size prefix, use addDecoderSizePrefix.
• To add a sentinel value, use addDecoderSentinel.

For more details, see getBytesCodec.

Returns

VariableSizeDecoder<ReadonlyUint8Array>

A VariableSizeDecoder<ReadonlyUint8Array>.

Example

Decoding a byte array as-is.

const decoder = getBytesDecoder();
 
decoder.decode(new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3])); // Uint8Array([1, 2, 3])
decoder.decode(new Uint8Array([255, 0, 127])); // Uint8Array([255, 0, 127])
