Range header field parser.
This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry. Installation is done using the npm install
command:

var parseRange = require('range-parser')
Parse the given header
string where size
is the maximum size of the resource. An array of ranges will be returned or negative numbers indicating an error parsing.
-2
signals a malformed header string-1
signals an unsatisfiable range// parse header from request var range = parseRange(size, req.headers.range) // the type of the range if (range.type === 'bytes') { // the ranges range.forEach(function (r) { // do something with r.start and r.end }) }
These properties are accepted in the options object.
Specifies if overlapping & adjacent ranges should be combined, defaults to false
. When true
, ranges will be combined and returned as if they were specified that way in the header.
parseRange(100, 'bytes=50-55,0-10,5-10,56-60', { combine: true }) // => [ // { start: 0, end: 10 }, // { start: 50, end: 60 } // ]
