Data conversion

Helper functions for converting data

ArcOS has several utilities built-in for converting data to different formats. All of these helper functions are part of the convert object. Here's what you get:

export function arrayToText(buffer: ArrayLike<number> | ArrayBufferLike): string;

Converts an ArrayBuffer to a string.

---

export function textToArrayBuffer(text: string): ArrayBuffer;

Converts a string to an ArrayBuffer.

---

export function blobToText(blob: Blob): Promise<string>;

This function is asynchronous; it should be awaited.

Asynchronously converts a Blob to a string.

---

export function textToBlob(text: string, type?: string): Blob;

Converts a string to a Blob, optionally specifying a mimetype.

---

export function arrayToBlob(buffer: ArrayBuffer, type?: string): Blob;

Converts an ArrayBuffer to a string, optionally specifying a mimetype.

---

export function blobToDataURL(blob: Blob): Promise<string | undefined>;

This function is asynchronous; it should be awaited.

Converts a Blob to a Data URL

Ofcourse you have all the flexibility you need to convert data your own way, these are just the functions that I've written for ArcOS to make data conversion with especially filesystem operations easier.
