---

complement

▸ complement(field): PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

Makes the complement of field, which is a field of all bits (of U or the union of all Flags bits) that do not belong to A. It is the result of U ∖ A, or difference(U, field).

Example

const bitfield = new BitField({
    Read:   0b0001,
    Write:  0b0010,
    Edit:   0b0100,
    Delete: 0b1000
});

bitfield.complement(0b0100);
// 0b1011

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
field	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The bits to get the complement of.

Returns

PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

The complement of field, also denoted Aᶜ or A'.

Defined in

lib/BitField.ts:118

---

difference

▸ difference(a, b): PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

Removes from a the bits that exist in b.

Example

bitfield.difference(0b1100, 0b0100);
// 0b1000

bitfield.difference(0b1111, 0b0110);
// 0b1001

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
a	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The first field.
b	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The bits to remove from a.

Returns

PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

The result of a ∖ b.

Defined in

lib/BitField.ts:187

---

has

▸ has(field, bits): boolean

Checks whether or not field is a superset of or equal to bits.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
field	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The bits to compare the bits from.
bits	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The bits to compare with.

Returns

boolean

Whether or not field is a superset of or equal to bits, also denoted as A ⊇ B.

Defined in

lib/BitField.ts:95

---

intersection

▸ intersection(bitfield, ...fields): PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

Makes an intersection of all the bits.

Example

bitfield.intersection(0b0001, 0b0100);
// 0b0000

bitfield.intersection(0b1100, 0b0100);
// 0b0100

bitfield.intersection(0b1101, 0b0101, 0b1100);
// 0b0100

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
bitfield	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The first field.
...fields	readonly MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>[]	The bits to intersect with bitfield.

Returns

PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

The result of intersecting bitfield with all of the fields, also denoted as A ⋂ fields.

Defined in

lib/BitField.ts:163

---

resolve

▸ resolve(resolvable): PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

Resolves a:

• string: If it's a property of Flags.
• number: If the BitField processes number primitives.
• bigint: If the BitField processes bigint primitives.
• Array: Resolves recursively.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
resolvable	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The value to resolve.

Returns

PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

The resolved value.

Defined in

lib/BitField.ts:64

---

symmetricDifference

▸ symmetricDifference(a, b): PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

Computes the symmetric difference, denoted as A ⊖ B or A Δ B, which is the disjunctive union, or the set of elements which are in either of the sets, but not in their intersection. As such, this is the result of (A ∖ B) ∪ (B ∖ A), union(difference(a, b), difference(b, a)), or a ⊕ b.

Remarks

The empty set (∅) is neutral, as such, A Δ ∅ = A and A Δ A = ∅

Example

bitfield.symmetricDifference(0b1100, 0b0011);
// 0b1111

bitfield.symmetricDifference(0b1101, 0b1011);
// 0b0110

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
a	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The first field.
b	MaybeArray<keyof Flags | PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>>	The second field.

Returns

PrimitiveType<Flags[keyof Flags]>

The result of computing a Δ b.

Retrieves an array of the properties from Flags whose values are contained in field.

Example

const bitfield = new BitField({
    Read:   0b0001,
    Write:  0b0010,
    Edit:   0b0100,
    Delete: 0b1000
});

bitfield.toArray(0b0101);

lib/BitField.ts:230

---

toObject

▸ toObject(field): Record<keyof Flags, boolean>

Retrieves an object with the properties from Flags whose values are boolean denoting whether or not the flag's bit is contained in field.

    Edit:   0b0100,
