class TextEncoder
Usage in Deno
import { TextEncoder } from "node:util";
An implementation of the WHATWG Encoding Standard TextEncoder API. All
instances of TextEncoder only support UTF-8 encoding.
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const uint8array = encoder.encode('this is some data');
The TextEncoder class is also available on the global object.
readonly
encoding: string
The encoding supported by the TextEncoder instance. Always set to 'utf-8'.
encode(input?: string): Uint8Array
UTF-8 encodes the input string and returns a Uint8Array containing the
encoded bytes.
encodeInto(src: string,dest: Uint8Array,): EncodeIntoResult
UTF-8 encodes the src string to the dest Uint8Array and returns an object
containing the read Unicode code units and written UTF-8 bytes.
const encoder = new TextEncoder();
const src = 'this is some data';
const dest = new Uint8Array(10);
const { read, written } = encoder.encodeInto(src, dest);
