array-stream-traversal

Adds the ability to traverse an array with file stream like abilities such as seek, read, tell.

Example Usage

import {ArrayStreamT} from 'array-stream-traversal';

const exampleArray = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];

try {
  const ast = ArrayStreamT.load(exampleArray);
  const res = ast.read(4); // res = [0, 1, 2, 3]
  
  ast.seek(1); // pointer should be at idx 1
  
  const res2 = ast.read(1); // [1] and move pointer to idx 2
  
  ast.seek(2, ArrayStreamT.SeekPos.CURR); // Seeks from current position, so it adds on instead of resettting to beginning
  
  console.log(ast.tell()); // 4
  console.log(ast.read()); // 5
}
catch(err) {
  // do error things here
}
