tobito/tobito.js

A package that returns bit representation of simple strings and numbers.

function tobito(_obj) {
    switch(typeof _obj) {
        case 'number':
        return toBin(_obj)
        
        case 'string':
        let myArr = []
        for(let char of _obj) {
            myArr.push(toBin(char.codePointAt(0).toString()))
        }
        return myArr
        
        // -1 to denote an unimplemented type
        default:
        return -1
    }
}

// See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9939760/how-do-i-convert-an-integer-to-binary-in-javascript for more information
// Summary -> Number.toString(2) will also do the job but it hates negative numbers. It is much happier when you
// 'coerce your number to an unsigned integer' first.
function toBin(dec) {
    return (dec >>> 0).toString(2)
}
