@manalejandro/text2bin

A simple and lightweight utility to convert text to binary representation.

Installation

npm install @manalejandro/text2bin

Usage

ES6 Modules

import { text2bin } from '@manalejandro/text2bin';

const binaryText = text2bin('Hello');
console.log(binaryText); // 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111

CommonJS (if your project doesn't use ES modules)

Since this package uses ES modules, you'll need to import it using dynamic imports in CommonJS:

const { text2bin } = await import('@manalejandro/text2bin');

const binaryText = text2bin('Hello');
console.log(binaryText); // 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111

API

text2bin(text)

Converts a string to its binary representation.

Parameters

• text (string): The text to convert to binary

Returns

• (string): The binary representation of the input text, where each character is converted to an 8-bit binary string

Example

import { text2bin } from '@manalejandro/text2bin';

// Basic usage
console.log(text2bin('A'));     // 01000001
console.log(text2bin('Hello')); // 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111
console.log(text2bin('123'));   // 001100010011001000110011

// Empty string
console.log(text2bin(''));      // (empty string)

// Special characters
console.log(text2bin('!@#'));   // 001000010100000000100011

How it works

The function:

1. Splits the input text into individual characters
2. Converts each character to its ASCII/Unicode code point using charCodeAt(0)
3. Converts the code point to binary using toString(2)
4. Pads each binary representation to 8 bits using padStart(8, '0')
5. Joins all binary representations into a single string

Features

• ✨ Simple and lightweight
• 🚀 Fast conversion
• 📦 Zero dependencies
• 🔧 ES6 module support
• 🛡️ Safe handling of empty/null inputs
