method BufferConstructor.compare
Usage in Deno
import { type BufferConstructor } from "node:buffer";
BufferConstructor.compare(buf1: Uint8Array,buf2: Uint8Array,): -1
| 0
| 1
Compares buf1
to buf2
, typically for the purpose of sorting arrays of Buffer
instances. This is equivalent to calling buf1.compare(buf2)
.
import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer'; const buf1 = Buffer.from('1234'); const buf2 = Buffer.from('0123'); const arr = [buf1, buf2]; console.log(arr.sort(Buffer.compare)); // Prints: [ <Buffer 30 31 32 33>, <Buffer 31 32 33 34> ] // (This result is equal to: [buf2, buf1].)
-1
| 0
| 1
Either -1
, 0
, or 1
, depending on the result of the comparison. See compare
for details.
