Supports decoding & encoding from Buffer

[nagayev]

I want to use node-flif so:

var buffer = fs.readFileSync('file')
var decodeParams={
 outputBuffer:buffer
}
var data = fliff.decode(decodeParams);

node-flif takes in a JavaScript object of settings, and then converts them into a string of command line arguments for the flif executable.

var nodeFLIF = require('node-flif');
var decodeParams = {
    input: './sample/cat.flif',
    output: './sample/cat.png',
    overwrite: true
};

nodeFLIF.decode(decodeParams, function (data) {
    console.log('Decode cat.flif -> cat.png finished');
    if (data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

What that actually does is run Node's child_process.exec command with

flif.exe -d -o "./sample/cat.flif" "./sample/cat.png"

Unless you can find a way for the flif executable to accept buffers/blobs, then node-flif will not be able to. Or for node-flif to store the buffer/blob as a file in a temp location, then read in the output file as a stream/buffer/blob and pass it back. There would still be file system read/writes occurring but it would be done for the user. Not sure of how useful that would be for people.

@TheJaredWilcurt Okey :-(
