There are a few ways you can get the text-encoder-lite
library.
text-encoder-lite
is on npm
. Simply run:
npm install text-encoder-lite
Or add it to your package.json
dependencies.
text-encoder-lite
is on bower
as well. Install with bower like so:
bower install text-encoder-lite
Or add it to your bower.json
dependencies.
<!-- Required for non-UTF encodings -->
<script src="bower_components/text-encoder-lite/index.js"></script>
Basic Usage
var uint8array = TextEncoderLite('utf-8').encode(string);
var string = TextDecoderLite('utf-8').decode(uint8array);
Only UTF-8 encoding is supported. See text-encoding for full support, including multi-lingual non-standard encodings that aren't supported by TextEncoder proper.
If it seems beneficial I could bring in support for utf-16be, utf-16le, and x-user-defined.
