TextEncoder, TextDecoder

See original GitHub issue

I typically do:

const {TextEncoder, TextDecoder} = require('util')

but now I’m building a React Native app and had to actually install this package npm i util, however the methods above I see are missing. where can I get them from and why are they not included in this package?

For those who want basic text-encoding (TextEncoder/TextDecoder), I made a fork that includes this. Based on text-encoding-polyfill as it is the most node-compatible (e.g. supports options such as fatal). This lets you drop in support for libraries that rely on TextEncoder/TextDecoder from node’s util package.

Find it here: https://github.com/elliotsayes/node-util-text-encoding

React-native doesn’t provide any polyfill for TextEncoder, it would be great if util implemented it.
