Usage

Getting Started

CommonJS

const UChardet = require('uchardet');
const uchardet = new UChardet();
const charset = uchardet.detect('/path/to/file');

ES6

import * as UChardet from 'uchardet';
const uchardet = new UChardet();
const charset = uchardet.detect('/path/to/file');

API

detect(file)
  • file [string]: Relative or absolute path to the file (Note: Relative path is resolved to process.cwd(), resolve prior if this doesn't work for you)

Example:

const source = './test/resources/sample.ssa';
const charset = uchardet.detect(source);
console.log(charset);
// => TIS-620
version()

Example:

console.log(uchardet.version());
// => 0.0.6
