# Thrift Core

Base package for the other Thrift libraries. This will usually not be used directly. Usually consumers will get everything they need from the consuming libraries:

* [Thrift-Client](https://github.com/creditkarma/thrift-server/tree/master/packages/thrift-client)
* [Thrift-Server-Express](https://github.com/creditkarma/thrift-server/tree/master/packages/thrift-server-express)
* [Thrift-Server-Hapi](https://github.com/creditkarma/thrift-server/tree/master/packages/thrift-server-hapi)

## Usage

```sh
$ npm install --save @creditkarma/thrift-server-core
```

### Int64

For representing 64-bit integers in JavaScript we use the [node-int64 library](https://github.com/broofa/node-int64). We extend the base class from the library with static methods for working with 64-bit integers written as strings. These functions are largely taken from the apache thrift libs and added as static methods for convinience.

#### `fromDecimalString`

Given a string of decimal digits, return a `Int64` object instance.

```typescript
import { Int64 } from '@creditkarma/thrift-server-core'

const i64: Int64 = Int64.fromDecimalString("89374875")
```

#### `toDecimalString`

```typescript
import { Int64 } from '@creditkarma/thrift-server-core'

const i64: Int64 = Int64.fromDecimalString("89374875")
const val: string = i64.toDecimalString()

// val === "89374875"
```

##### `toDecimalString` static

For consistency the `toDecimalString` method is also available statically on the `Int64` class. The static method can take a `number` or `Int64` instance.

```typescript
import { Int64 } from '@creditkarma/thrift-server-core'

const i64: Int64 = new Int64(64)
const val: string = Int64.toDecimalString(i64)

// val === "64"
```

## Roadmap

* Support CompactProtocol, JsonProtocol and FramedTransport
