Properties

encoding: "utf-8"

Methods

  • Takes a string as input, and returns a buffer containing the text given in parameters encoded with the UTF-8 method.

    Parameters

    • Optionalinput: string

      Text to encode.

    Returns Uint8Array

  • Takes a string to encode and a destination Uint8Array to put resulting UTF-8 encoded text into, and returns a dictionary object indicating the progress of the encoding.

    This is potentially more performant than the older encode() method.

    Parameters

    • source: string

      Text to encode.

    • destination: Uint8Array

      Buffer where to place the resulting UTF-8 encoded text into.

    Returns TextEncoderEncodeIntoResult
