# Buffer for Array
Buffer for Array (B4A) provides a set of functions for bridging the gap between the Node.js `Buffer` class and the `Uint8Array` class. A browser compatibility layer is also included, making it possible to use B4A in both Node.js and browsers without having to worry about whether you're dealing with buffers or typed arrays.
## Installation
```sh
npm install b4a
```
## API
#### `b4a.isBuffer(value)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferisbufferobj
This will also return `true` when passed a `Uint8Array`.
#### `b4a.isEncoding(encoding)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferisencodingencoding
#### `b4a.alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferallocsize-fill-encoding
#### `b4a.allocUnsafe(size)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferallocunsafesize
#### `b4a.allocUnsafeSlow(size)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferallocunsafeslowsize
#### `b4a.byteLength(string)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferbytelengthstring-encoding
#### `b4a.compare(buf1, buf2)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-buffercomparebuf1-buf2
#### `b4a.concat(buffers[, totalLength])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferconcatlist-totallength
#### `b4a.copy(source, target[, targetStart[, sourceStart[, sourceEnd]]])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufcopytarget-targetstart-sourcestart-sourceend
#### `b4a.equals(buf1, buf2)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufequalsotherbuffer
#### `b4a.fill(buffer, value[, offset[, end]][, encoding])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffillvalue-offset-end-encoding
#### `b4a.from(array)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferfromarray
#### `b4a.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferfromarraybuffer-byteoffset-length
#### `b4a.from(buffer)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferfrombuffer
#### `b4a.from(string[, encoding])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#static-method-bufferfromstring-encoding
#### `b4a.includes(buffer, value[, byteOffset][, encoding])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufincludesvalue-byteoffset-encoding
#### `b4a.indexOf(buffer, value[, byteOffset][, encoding])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufindexofvalue-byteoffset-encoding
#### `b4a.lastIndexOf(buffer, value[, byteOffset][, encoding])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buflastindexofvalue-byteoffset-encoding
#### `b4a.swap16(buffer)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufswap16
#### `b4a.swap32(buffer)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufswap32
#### `b4a.swap64(buffer)`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufswap64
#### `b4a.toBuffer(buffer)`
Convert a buffer to its canonical representation. In Node.js, the canonical representation is a `Buffer`. In the browser, the canonical representation is a `Uint8Array`.
#### `b4a.toString(buffer, [encoding[, start[, end]]])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buftostringencoding-start-end
#### `b4a.write(buffer, string[, offset[, length]][, encoding])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufwritestring-offset-length-encoding
#### `b4a.writeDoubleLE(buffer, value[, offset])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufwritedoublelevalue-offset
#### `b4a.writeFloatLE(buffer, value[, offset])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufwritefloatlevalue-offset

#### `b4a.readInt32LE(buffer[, offset])`
See https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#bufreadint32leoffset
