lexicographic-integer

create lexicographic string keys for positive integers without zero-padding

At most, a number will take 10 bytes to store (2 more bytes than a regular double) but all numbers less than 251 only take a single byte.

example

pack

var lexi = require('lexicographic-integer');
console.log(lexi.pack(12345));

output:

[ 252, 47, 62 ]

unpack

To convert the arrays back into integers, just do .unpack():

var lexi = require('lexicographic-integer');
console.log(lexi.unpack([ 252, 47, 62 ]));

output:

12345

hex list

var lexi = require('lexicographic-integer');
 
for (var n = 0; n < 5; n++) {
    console.log(n, lexi.pack(n, 'hex'));
}
 
console.log('...');
 
for (var n = 248; n < 257; n++) {
    console.log(n, lexi.pack(n, 'hex'));
}
 
console.log('...');
 
for (var n = 5000; n < 5005; n++) {
    console.log(n, lexi.pack(n, 'hex'));
}
 
console.log('...');
 
for (var n = 21378213; n < Number.MAX_VALUE; n *= 1513254198219212) {
    console.log(n, lexi.pack(n, 'hex'));
}
