import torrent2magnet from "torrent2magnet-js";
import fs from "fs";

const torrent_file = fs.readFileSync("./ubuntu.torrent");
const torrent_file_buffer = new Uint8Array(torrent_file); // Buffer.from(torrent_file);

const { success, infohash, magnet_uri, dn, xl, main_tracker, tracker_list, is_private, files } = torrent2magnet(torrent_file_buffer);

// success is a boolean value, if success is true, then the following values are valid
if (success) {
  //...
}

Use in Angular

<input type="file" accept=".torrent" (change)="uploadTorrent($event)" />

import torrent2magnet from "torrent2magnet-js";

  uploadTorrent(event: any) {
    const file = event.target.files[0];
    const reader = new FileReader();
    // bencode.decode need ArrayBuffer as input, so we need to use readAsArrayBuffer
    reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
    reader.onload = (file: any) => {
      const buffer_content = new Uint8Array(file.target.result);
      const { success, infohash, magnet_uri, dn, xl, main_tracker, tracker_list, is_private, files } = torrent2magnet(buffer_content);
      if (success) {
