browser-string-hexer
Advanced tools
A simple function for encoding a utf-8 string as a hex string.
Take a string, get it as hex-encoded UTF-8 back!
Equivalent to the node operation of Buffer.from(YOUR_INPUT, 'utf8').toString('hex'), but in the browser, in one function.
You could just copy-paste it, it's very simple, but I realized that I hadn't shared this in a reusable form, and had taken for granted that I had Buffer in a browserify context in the past.
Useful for performing personal_sign invocations in MetaMask.
npm install browser-string-hexer or yarn add browser-string-hexer.
import hexer from 'browser-string-hexer';
const hex = hexer("hello");
// hex === '0x68656c6c6f'
