// parse header from request
var subranges = parseRange(size, req.headers.range)
// the type of the subranges
if (subranges.type === 'bytes') {
// the ranges
subranges.forEach(function (r) {
// do something with r.start and r.end
})
}
Options
These properties are accepted in the options object.
combine
Specifies if overlapping & adjacent subranges 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 }
// ]
