libqp
Encode and decode quoted-printable strings according to RFC2045.
Usage
Install with npm
npm install libqp
Require in your script
var libqp = require('libqp');
Encode values
Encode Buffer objects or unicode strings with
libqp.encode(val) → String
Where
- val is a Buffer or an unicode string
Example
libqp.encode('jõgeva');
// j=C3=B5geva
Wrap encoded values
Quoted-Printable encoded lines are limited to 76 characters but encode
method might return lines longer than the limit.
To enforce soft line breaks on lines longer than 76 (or any other length) characters, use wrap
libqp.wrap(str[, lineLength]) → String
Where
- str is a Quoted-Printable encoded string
- lineLength (defaults to 76) is the maximum allowed line length. Any longer line will be soft wrapped
Example
libqp.wrap('abc j=C3=B5geva', 10)
// abc j=\r\n
// =C3=B5geva
Transform Streams
libqp
makes it possible to encode and decode streams with libqp.Encoder
and libqp.Decoder
constructors.
Encoder Stream
Create new Encoder Stream with
var encoder = new libqp.Encoder([options])
Where
- options is the optional stream options object with an additional option
lineLength
if you want to use any other line length than the default 76 characters (or set tofalse
to turn the soft wrapping off completely)
Example
The following example script reads in a file, encodes it to Quoted-Printable and saves the output to a file.
var libqp = require('libqp');
var fs = require('fs');
var source = fs.createReadStream('source.txt');
var encoded = fs.createReadStream('encoded.txt');
var encoder = new libqp.Encoder();
source.pipe(encoder).pipe(encoded);
Decoder Stream
Create new Decoder Stream with
var decoder = new libqp.Decoder([options])
Where
- options is the optional stream options object
Example
The following example script reads in a file in Quoted-Printable encoding, decodes it and saves the output to a file.
var libqp = require('libqp');
var fs = require('fs');
var encoded = fs.createReadStream('encoded.txt');
var dest = fs.createReadStream('dest.txt');
var decoder = new libqp.Decoder();
encoded.pipe(decoder).pipe(dest);
