encodeAsync static method

FutureOr<Uint8List?> encodeAsync(Uint8List bytes, { int level = defaultLevel, })

Same as encode, but encodes in the compressionIsolatePool (a background Isolate) if bytes is large for level (see isolateMinLength).

Returns null if the encoding fails in the Isolate (logged).

Implementation

static FutureOr<Uint8List?> encodeAsync(
  Uint8List bytes, {
  int level = defaultLevel,
}) {
  if (bytes.length < isolateMinLength(level)) {
    return encode(bytes, level: level);
  }

  return compressionIsolatePool
      .run(() => encode(bytes, level: level))
      .then<Uint8List?>(
        (encoded) => encoded,
        onError: (Object e, StackTrace s) {
          _log.severe(
            "GZip encoding failed (${bytes.length} bytes, level: $level)",
            e,
            s,
          );
          return null;
        },
      );
}
