# Decode BMP
Decode `.bmp` images
## Installation
```sh
npm install --save decode-bmp
```
## Usage
```js
const decodeBmp = require('decode-bmp')
const fs = require('fs')
const source = fs.readFileSync('foobar.bmp')
const image = decodeBmp(source)
console.log(image)
//=> { width: 32, height: 32, data: Uint8ClampedArray(...), colorDepth: 32 }
```
## API
### `decodeBmp(source: ArrayBuffer | Buffer) => ImageData`
Decodes the `.bmp` file in the given buffer, and returns an image.
The image has the following properties:
- `width: number` - The width of the image, in pixels
- `height: number` - The height of the image, in pixels
- `data: Uint8ClampedArray` - The data of the image, in the `RGBA` format
- `colorDepth: number` - The color depth of the image as the number of bits used per pixel
