This is a fast polyfill for [`TextEncoder`][1] and [`TextDecoder`][2], which let you encode and decode JavaScript strings into UTF-8 bytes.
|
|
|
|
It is fast partially as it does not support any encodings aside UTF-8 (and note that natively, only `TextDecoder` supports alternative encodings anyway).

# Usage
|
|
|
|
Include the minified inside a `script` tag or as an ES6 Module for its side-effects.
|
|
It will create `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` if the symbols are missing on `window`.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script src="node_modules/fast-text-encoding/text.min.js"></script>
|
|
<script type="module">
|
|
import './node_modules/fast-text-encoding/text.min.js';
|
|
// confidently do something with TextEncoder \o/
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Always include `text.min.js`, as it's compiled to ES5 for older environments.
|
|
|
|
## Node
|
|
|
|
Install via NPM or Yarn (name "fast-text-encoding"), and then import purely for side effects:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// don't need to save this anywhere, just require before use
|
|
require('fast-text-encoding');
|
|
|
|
const buffer = new TextEncoder().encode('Turn me into UTF-8!');
|
|
// buffer is now a Uint8Array of [84, 117, 114, 110, ...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
