Loads raw array buffers in a way that can be imported in SystemJS projects.
System.import('./data.exe!raw').then(function(data) {})'data' out will be an ArrayBuffer. For more info on the ArrayBuffer, see the MDN article. You cannot modify the ArrayBuffer, instead you must create a view on it with:
var view = new Uint8Array(data)This will give you an 8-bit view where each index in the buffer object is an unsigned 8 bit integer.
Note: this data will not be bundled with the SystemJS builder. If you need this data, make sure the URL can correctly resolve to it after you've bundled.
You can convert the data from an ArrayBuffer to a JS String using the TextDecoder interface. Like so:
var text = TextDecoder('utf-8').decode(new Uint8Array(data))The polyfill and more detailed examples are available in @inexorabletash's text-encoding library.
The tests should work in both Node and on the web. The page "test.html" should load the tests (you can run the server with python -m SimpleHTTPServer). You can compare them to: http://matthewbauer.us/plugin-raw/test.html
To run in node:
mocha --compilers js:babel/register test.jsMIT
