Subclassed Array Collection for Next.js Edge Runtime Payload Buffer Manipulation
Demonstrates how to extend the standard JavaScript Array class via Object-Oriented inheritance and customize standard Array species evaluation to manage binary chunk streams in Next.js Edge environments.

Breakdown
1
export class ChunkCollection extends Array {
Subclasses the native Array built-in to attach domain-specific binary buffer utilities.
2
static get [Symbol.species]() { return Array; }
Overrides Symbol.species so derived array methods like filter return standard Array instances.
3
compactChunks() {
Applies built-in array processing to strip empty chunks from the collection.
4
result.set(chunk, offset);
Copies byte chunks into a contiguous Uint8Array target buffer iteratively.
