react-native-nitro-text-decoder

TextDecoder implementation backed by Nitro Modules for React Native.

Installation

npm i react-native-nitro-text-decoder react-native-nitro-modules

Usage

import { TextDecoder } from 'react-native-nitro-text-decoder'

const decoder = new TextDecoder()
const text = decoder.decode(new Uint8Array([72, 101, 108, 108, 111])) // "Hello"

decode accepts:

• ArrayBuffer
• ArrayBufferView (for example Uint8Array, Int8Array, DataView)

Constructor options

import { TextDecoder } from 'react-native-nitro-text-decoder'

const decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8', {
  fatal: false,
  ignoreBOM: true,
})

Streaming decode (chunked UTF-8)

If you decode incrementally (for example from an HTTP stream), reuse the same decoder and pass { stream: true } for intermediate chunks:

import { TextDecoder } from 'react-native-nitro-text-decoder'

const decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8')

// For each chunk:
const chunkText = decoder.decode(chunkUint8Array, { stream: true })

// On the final chunk, you can omit it or set stream to false:
const finalText = decoder.decode(lastChunk, { stream: false })
