class BakedFileSystem::StringEncoder

Overview

This class acts as an IO wrapper that encodes a byte stream as content for a string literal in Crystal code.

It works similiar to String.dump_unquoted but operates on bytes instead of unicode characters and acts as an IO, so it doesn't need to allocate all data in memory.

Defined in:

loader/string_encoder.cr

def read(slice : Bytes) #
Description copied from class IO

Reads at most slice.size bytes from this IO into slice. Returns the number of bytes read, which is 0 if and only if there is no more data to read (so checking for 0 is the way to detect end of file).

io = IO::Memory.new "hello"
slice = Bytes.new(4)
io.read(slice) # => 4
slice          # => Bytes[104, 101, 108, 108]
io.read(slice) # => 1
slice          # => Bytes[111, 101, 108, 108]
io.read(slice) # => 0

def write(slice : Bytes) : Nil #
Description copied from class IO

Writes the contents of slice into this IO.

io = IO::Memory.new
slice = Bytes.new(4) { |i| ('a'.ord + i).to_u8 }
io.write(slice)
io.to_s # => "abcd"
