split inflate/delate to two files

for them who are only interested in one of them

I am a little worried to have many JS files here with redundant data. People would be confused by them.

But you could copy out inflate and minify it into 1 kB of JS code :)

ok, got a question, i'm new to the hole inflate, deflate world how do you actually use this lib? i haven't tried pako yet either (thats where i found you)

Dose it work in a streaming/chunked fashion?

---

it would have been nice if it supported whatwg streams but i assume that would make it slower maybe? but at least it would make it as a cool new api

new Response('hello world').body
  .pipeThrought(new uzip.DeflateTransformer())
  .pipeThrought(new uzip.InflateTransformer())
  .pipeThrought(new TextDecoderStream())
  .pipeTo(new WritableStream({
    write (str) {
      console.log(str)
    }
  }))

The description is in README. UZIP uses typed arrays, both the input and the output is in JS memory (usually in RAM). The input is a sequence of bytes, and the output too.

Figured this part out: a repeated 100 times

UZIP.deflate(new Uint8Array(100).fill(97)) // [120, 156, 75, 164, 3, 0, 0, 122, 71, 37, 229]

but how do you know how many bytes you should pass into the inflator?

i know pako had something like append and flush where as you don't?

edit meant

inflator.push(chunk1, false);
inflator.push(chunk2, false);
...
inflator.push(chunkN, true); // true -> last chunk

[jimmywarting]

hmm, maybe a inflator/delator isn't meant to compress/uncompress hole files? maybe the application should define blocks of sequences?

I am afraid I don't understand your problem. UZIP.deflate() converts any sequence of bytes into another sequence of bytes. UIZP.inflate() expects a valid sequence of bytes (data compressed by Deflate algrithm) and returns the original sequence of bytes.

Your code seems to take data in chunks. But you could concatenate all your chunks by yourself, and give them all to UZIP.inflate(), you would get the same result.
