int53

Refactoring dannycoates's int53 lib with number type enum parameter instead of function name with typescript.

Int53Type

1Int64BE = "Int64BE",
2Int64LE = "Int64LE",
3UInt64BE = "UInt64BE",
4UInt64LE = "UInt64LE",

API

1import { Int53Type, readInt53, writeInt53 } from "./index";

3var number = readInt53(Int53Type.Int64BE, buffer, offset)
4var number = readInt53(Int53Type.Int64LE, buffer, offset)
5var number = readInt53(Int53Type.UInt64BE, buffer, offset)
6var number = readInt53(Int53Type.UInt64LE, buffer, offset)

8writeInt53(Int53Type.Int64BE, number, buffer, offset)
9writeInt53(Int53Type.Int64LE, number, buffer, offset)
10writeInt53(Int53Type.UInt64BE, number, buffer, offset)
11writeInt53(Int53Type.UInt64LE, number, buffer, offset)

why?

Sometimes you need to read and write 64-bit integers. For some things like timestamps, file sizes, and counters the 53-bits offered by a double is enough to get by, and easier to work with than a bigint module.
