Usage

Below you'll find simple usage examples.

Basic types

Working with basic types is very self explanatory.

Typescript

import { AMF3, ECMAArray } from 'amf3-ts';
 
const obj: object = { id: 1 };
const ref: object = { ref1: obj, ref2: obj };
const mixed: ECMAArray = Object.assign([], [1,2,3], { 'Key': 'Value' });
const arr: ECMAArray = [1,2,3];
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(obj));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(ref));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(mixed));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(arr));

Node

const { AMF3 } = require('amf3-ts');
 
const obj = { id: 1 };
const ref = { ref1: obj, ref2: obj };
const mixed = Object.assign([], [1,2,3], { 'Key': 'Value' })
const arr = [1,2,3];
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(obj));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(ref));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(mixed));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(arr));

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/amf3-ts@latest/browser/AMF3.js"></script>
 
<script>
  const obj = { id: 1 };
  const ref = { ref1: obj, ref2: obj };
  const mixed = Object.assign([], [1,2,3], { 'Key': 'Value' })
  const arr = [1,2,3];
 
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(obj));
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(ref));
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(mixed));
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(arr));
</script> 

Changes

This library has a few changes:

• Vector has been changed to typed arrays
• Vector object has been changed to Set
• Dictionary has been changed to Map
• ByteArray has been changed to Stream
• You can freeze Vector arrays using Object.preventExtensions

Typescript

import { AMF3, Stream } from 'amf3-ts';
 
const map: Map<string | number, any> = new Map([[1, 'Value']]);
const set: Set<any> = new Set([1, 'A', 2, 'B', 3, 'C']);
const vectorInt:Int32Array = new Int32Array([1,2,3]);
const fixedVectorUint:Uint32Array = new Uint32Array([1,2,3]);
const stream:Stream = new Stream();
stream.writeUTF('AMF3-TS');
 
Object.preventExtensions(fixedVectorUint);
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(map));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(set));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(vectorInt));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(fixedVectorUint));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(stream));

Node

const { AMF3, Stream } = require('amf3-ts');
 
const map = new Map([[1, 'Value']]);
const set = new Set([1, 'A', 2, 'B', 3, 'C']);
const vectorInt = new Int32Array([1,2,3]);
const fixedVectorUint = new Uint32Array([1,2,3]);
const stream = new Stream();
stream.writeUTF('AMF3-TS');
 
Object.preventExtensions(fixedVectorUint);
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(map));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(set));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(vectorInt));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(fixedVectorUint));
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(stream));

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/amf3-ts@latest/browser/AMF3.js"></script>
 
<script>
  const map = new Map([[1, 'Value']]);
  const set = new Set([1, 'A', 2, 'B', 3, 'C']);
  const vectorInt = new Int32Array([1,2,3]);
  const fixedVectorUint = new Uint32Array([1,2,3]);
 
  Object.preventExtensions(fixedVectorUint);
 
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(map));
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(set));
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(vectorInt));
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(fixedVectorUint));
</script> 

Typed class

This library also supports typed classes.

Typescript

import { AMF3 } from 'amf3-ts';
 
class Person {
  public name:string;
  public age:number;
 
  constructor(name:string, age:number) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }
}
 
AMF3.registerClassAlias('com.person', Person);
AMF3.isRegisteredClassAlias(Person); // Or 'com.person'
 
const person: Person = new Person('Daan', 18);
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(person));
AMF3.deregisterClassAlias(Person); // Or 'com.person'

Node

const { AMF3 } = require('amf3-ts');
 
class Person {
  constructor(name, age) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }
}
 
AMF3.registerClassAlias('com.person', Person);
AMF3.isRegisteredClassAlias(Person); // Or 'com.person'
 
const person = new Person('Daan', 18);
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(person));
AMF3.deregisterClassAlias(Person); // Or 'com.person'

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/amf3-ts@latest/browser/AMF3.js"></script>
 
<script>
  class Person {
    constructor(name, age) {
      this.name = name;
      this.age = age;
    }
  }
 
  AMF3.registerClassAlias('com.person', Person);
  AMF3.isRegisteredClassAlias(Person); // Or 'com.person'
 
  const person = new Person('Daan', 18);
 
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(person));
  AMF3.deregisterClassAlias(Person); // Or 'com.person'
</script> 

Externalizable class

This library also supports externalizable classes.

Typescript

import { AMF3, IExternalizable, IDataInput, IDataOutput } from 'amf3-ts';
 
class Character implements IExternalizable {
  public username: string;
  public password: string;
 
  constructor(username: string, password: string) {
    this.username = username;
    this.password = password;
  }
 
  public writeExternal(output: IDataOutput): void {
    output.writeUTF(this.username);
    output.writeUTF(this.password);
  }
 
  public readExternal(input: IDataInput): void {
    this.username = input.readUTF();
    this.password = input.readUTF();
  }
}
 
AMF3.registerClassAlias('src.Character', Character);
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(new Character('Zaseth', '123123')));

Node

const { AMF3 } = require('amf3-ts');
 
class Character {
  constructor(username, password) {
    this.username = username;
    this.password = password;
  }
 
  writeExternal(output) {
    output.writeUTF(this.username);
    output.writeUTF(this.password);
  }
 
  readExternal(input) {
    this.username = input.readUTF();
    this.password = input.readUTF();
  }
}
 
AMF3.registerClassAlias('src.Character', Character);
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(new Character('Zaseth', '123123')));

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/amf3-ts@latest/browser/AMF3.js"></script>
 
<script>
  class Character {
    constructor(username, password) {
      this.username = username;
      this.password = password;
    }
 
    writeExternal(output) {
      output.writeUTF(this.username);
      output.writeUTF(this.password);
    }
 
    readExternal(input) {
      this.username = input.readUTF();
      this.password = input.readUTF();
    }
  }
 
  AMF3.registerClassAlias('src.Character', Character);
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify(new Character('Zaseth', '123123')));
</script> 

Dynamic property writer

This library also supports Dynamic property writers.

Typescript

import { AMF3, IDynamicPropertyWriter, IDynamicPropertyOutput } from 'amf3-ts';
 
class HideSensitive implements IDynamicPropertyWriter {
  constructor() { }
 
  public writeDynamicProperties(obj: object, output: IDynamicPropertyOutput): void {
    for (const prop in obj) {
      if (prop.toLowerCase() !== 'password') {
        output.writeDynamicProperty(prop, obj[prop]);
      }
    }
  }
}
 
AMF3.setDynamicPropertyWriter(new HideSensitive());
AMF3.hasDynamicPropertyWriter(); // True
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify({ id: 1, username: 'Zaseth', password: '123123' }));
 
AMF3.setDynamicPropertyWriter(null); // Reset
AMF3.hasDynamicPropertyWriter(); // False

Node

const { AMF3 } = require('amf3-ts');
 
class HideSensitive {
  constructor() { }
 
  writeDynamicProperties(obj, output) {
    for (const prop in obj) {
      if (prop.toLowerCase() !== 'password') {
        output.writeDynamicProperty(prop, obj[prop]);
      }
    }
  }
}
 
AMF3.setDynamicPropertyWriter(new HideSensitive());
AMF3.hasDynamicPropertyWriter(); // True
 
AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify({ id: 1, username: 'Zaseth', password: '123123' }));
 
AMF3.setDynamicPropertyWriter(null); // Reset
AMF3.hasDynamicPropertyWriter(); // False

Browser

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/amf3-ts@latest/browser/AMF3.js"></script>
 
<script>
  class HideSensitive {
    constructor() { }
 
    writeDynamicProperties(obj, output) {
      for (const prop in obj) {
        if (prop.toLowerCase() !== 'password') {
          output.writeDynamicProperty(prop, obj[prop]);
        }
      }
    }
  }
 
  AMF3.setDynamicPropertyWriter(new HideSensitive());
  AMF3.hasDynamicPropertyWriter(); // True
 
  AMF3.parse(AMF3.stringify({ id: 1, username: 'Zaseth', password: '123123' }));
