# Encoding
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**encoding** is a simple wrapper around [node-iconv](https://github.com/bnoordhuis/node-iconv) and [iconv-lite](https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/) to convert strings from one encoding to another. If node-iconv is not available for some reason,
|
||
|
|
iconv-lite will be used instead of it as a fallback.

## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install through npm
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install encoding
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Require the module
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var encoding = require("encoding");
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Convert with encoding.convert()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var resultBuffer = encoding.convert(text, toCharset, fromCharset);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **text** is either a Buffer or a String to be converted
|
||
|
|
* **toCharset** is the characterset to convert the string
|
||
|
|
* **fromCharset** (*optional*, defaults to UTF-8) is the source charset
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output of the conversion is always a Buffer object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
var result = encoding.convert("ÕÄÖÜ", "Latin_1");
|
||
|
|
console.log(result); //<Buffer d5 c4 d6 dc>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## iconv support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default only iconv-lite is bundled. If you need node-iconv support, you need to add it
|
||
|
|
as an additional dependency for your project:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...,
|
||
|
|
"dependencies":{
|
||
|
|
"encoding": "*",
|
||
|
|
"iconv": "*"
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
