FixObjectArray - already with the questions

[Lindon]

So looking at using this ... but I need to save to disk and read these back, so can I just do this like "normal" array?

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon no, this is not possible, but I can add a toBase64() / fromBase64() method that writes the entire memory range as tightly packed byte array. Do you need them to be human readable?

nope base64 would be fine...

[Christoph Hart]

There you go:

// Create an array with this memory layout
const var fo = Engine.createFixObjectFactory({
	"noteNumber": 1,
	"velo": 2,
	"somethingElse": 0
});

const var fa = fo.createArray(128);

const var b64 = fa.toBase64();

// See that it uses 1536 bytes (4 bytes (int32) * 3 * 128)
Console.print(b64);

Console.assertTrue(fa[0].velo == 2);

fa[0].velo = 900;

Console.assertTrue(fa[0].velo == 900);

const var ok = fa.fromBase64(b64);

Console.assertTrue(ok);

Console.assertTrue(fa[0].velo == 2);

@Christoph-Hart great thanks.
