Generated Client uses NodeJS exclusive Buffer API

Describe the bug I create the client with the intent of using it in the Browser with the following options:

"scripts": {
    "api:generate-client": "openapi --client axios --input ./src/api/openapi.yml --output ./src/api/client --useOptions --useUnionTypes && prettier --write src/api/client"
}

This generates a client that uses a NodeJS exclusive Buffer API in the file core/request.ts, which leads to a TS Error:

TS2580: Cannot find name 'Buffer'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i --save-dev @types/node`.

function base64(str: string): string {
  try {
    return btoa(str);
  } catch (err) {
    return Buffer.from(str).toString("base64"); // Buffer does not exist in Browser environments
  }
}

Used Versions:

"devDependencies": {
    ...
    "axios": "^0.24.0",
    "cross-blob": "2.0.1",
    "form-data": "4.0.0",
    "openapi-typescript-codegen": "^0.12.5",
    ...
  },
