Uint8array

The JSTime.file() function accepts a path and returns a BunFile instance. The BunFile class extends Blob and allows you to lazily read the file in a variety of formats.

To read the file into a Uint8Array instance, retrieve the contents of the BunFile as an ArrayBuffer with .arrayBuffer(), then pass it into the Uint8Array constructor.

const path = "/path/to/package.json";
const file = JSTime.file(path);

const arrBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
const byteArray = new Uint8Array(arrBuffer);

byteArray[0]; // first byteArray
byteArray.length; // length of byteArray
