name: Convert an ArrayBuffer to a Buffer
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The Node.js [`Buffer`](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) API predates the introduction of `ArrayBuffer` into the JavaScript language. Bun implements both.
|
|
|
|
Use the static `Buffer.from()` method to create a `Buffer` from an `ArrayBuffer`.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const arrBuffer = new ArrayBuffer(64);
|
|
const nodeBuffer = Buffer.from(arrBuffer);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
To create a `Buffer` that only views a portion of the underlying buffer, pass the offset and length to the constructor.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const arrBuffer = new ArrayBuffer(64);
|
|
const nodeBuffer = Buffer.from(arrBuffer, 0, 16); // view first 16 bytes
|
|
```
