buffToObj

A small library that helps to create user defined objects from a buffer.

Usage

var buffToObj = require('bufftoobj');
 
// eg: model = {'ip' => ipv4, num1 => ulong}
var modelArray = [{
    "attrName" : 'ipAddr',
    "type": 'ipv4',
    "length" : 4
}, {
    "attrName" : 'num1',
    "type" : 'uInt32',
    "length" : 4
}];
 
var object = buffToObj(new Buffer([192, 168, 0, 183,255, 255, 0, 0]), 0, modelArray);
console.log(object); // {'ip' : '192.168.0.183', 'num1' : 65536}
