const arr = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4])
console.log(bufferFrom(arr.buffer, 1, 2))
//=> <Buffer 02 03>
console.log(bufferFrom('test', 'utf8'))
//=> <Buffer 74 65 73 74>
const buf = bufferFrom('test')

API#
bufferFrom(array)#
array
<Array>
Allocates a new Buffer
using an array
of octets.
bufferFrom(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])#
arrayBuffer
<ArrayBuffer> The.buffer
property of a TypedArray or ArrayBufferbyteOffset
<Integer> Where to start copying fromarrayBuffer
. Default:0
length
<Integer> How many bytes to copy fromarrayBuffer
. Default:arrayBuffer.length - byteOffset
When passed a reference to the .buffer
property of a TypedArray instance, the
newly created Buffer
will share the same allocated memory as the TypedArray.
The optional byteOffset
and length
arguments specify a memory range within
the arrayBuffer
that will be shared by the Buffer
.
bufferFrom(buffer)#
buffer
<Buffer> An existingBuffer

Copies the passed buffer
data onto a new Buffer
instance.
