| // To convert an axios.get that uses "ArrayBuffer" to a got request use the following: | |
| // Axios (before) | |
| const fileData = (await axios.get('file-url-here', { | |
| responseType: 'arraybuffer' | |
| })).data | |
| // Got (after) | |
| const fileData = await got.get('file-url-here', { | |
| responseType: 'buffer' | |
| }).buffer() | |
| /* For reference - Got request options source code: https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/main/source/core/options.ts#L2245 | |
| * And the got buffer() function: https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/main/documentation/1-promise.md#promisebuffer | |
| * | |
| * Note the subtle difference in parenthesis. Axios probably also has a buffer / data function. you can use either method | |
| * of grabbing a property from the response object, or use a fancy function to get what you need. Just be aware that if | |
| * you want a property, use must use parethesis to get this property AFTER the await runs. With got, the buffer(), or if you're | |
| * getting json, the json() function, automatically account for this and instead return a promise that goes to the await. | |
