exporting bitfield state as 32 bits integers about bitfield

[feross]

The whole point of this package is to compactly store bits in a larger buffer. It's expected that when you view the buffer as a bunch of 32 bit ints it will look like nonsense.

I don't know what to tell you.

If you want to get a friendly array, loop over the BitField using b.get(i) to extract the values and put them into an array yourself.

got it , but why when you call b.set(0) , it internally set the most significant bit ?
why not using (1 << (i % 8)) instead? if you make this the buffer will look like this

[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, …]

if you b.set(1) you can

[3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, …]

with your module you get

[128, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, …]
and
[64, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, …]

if anyone has the same kind of issue to export as 32 bits integers , you can use swap32() on the buffer

It sets bits from left to right, because that's the most useful for building up a bitfield when working with low-level wire protocols.
