getStructDecoder

Call Signature

getStructDecoder<TFields>(fields): FixedSizeDecoder<DrainOuterGeneric<{ [I in never as TFields[I][0]]: TFields[I][1] extends Decoder<TTo> ? TTo : never }>>

Returns a decoder for custom objects.

This decoder deserializes an object by decoding its fields sequentially, using the provided field decoders.

For more details, see getStructCodec.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Description
`TFields` extends `Fields`<`FixedSizeDecoder`<`any`>>	The fields of the struct, each paired with a decoder.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`fields`	`TFields`	The name and decoder of each field.

Returns

FixedSizeDecoder<DrainOuterGeneric<{ [I in never as TFields[I][0]]: TFields[I][1] extends Decoder<TTo> ? TTo : never }>>

A FixedSizeDecoder or VariableSizeDecoder for decoding custom objects.

Example

Decoding a custom struct.

const decoder = getStructDecoder([
  ['name', fixCodecSize(getUtf8Decoder(), 5)],
  ['age', getU8Decoder()]
]);
 
const struct = decoder.decode(new Uint8Array([
  0x41,0x6c,0x69,0x63,0x65,0x2a
]));
// { name: 'Alice', age: 42 }
