toBuffer() docs wrong?

[mprobst]

toBuffer() is documented as returning ArrayBuffer, but returns Buffer in nodejs in practice.

Oversight, intentional?

Iirc the docs have been generated from the browser version, where it's all ArrayBuffer.

I ran into this because the TypeScript .d.ts has toBuffer return ArrayBuffer in node, which then causes incorrect compilation errors. Any ideas on how to avoid that? Daniel Wirtz <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Di., 27. Feb. 2018 um 17:58 Uhr:

As a workaround, you could try to wrap the result of toBuffer() in a Buffer.from(...).
