can't figure out how to add info to BYTE type fields about piexifjs HOT 6 OPEN

@klaussa finding the answer not straightforward, but this was my solution (using Node.js v12 and the new spread syntax):

exif[piexifjs.ImageIFD.XPTitle]: [...Buffer.from('Your XPTitle', 'ucs2')]

For more information, see:
https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buffers_and_character_encodings
https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buffers_and_typedarrays
Other background info:

from piexifjs.

Which value do you want to add?
Example:

var s = "foo";
var bytes = [];
for (var i=0; i<s.length; i++) {
    bytes.push(s.charCodeAt(i));
}

bytes -> [102, 111, 111]

@hMatoba
I want to add a piece of text to those fields.
// XPTitle: // XPComment: // XPAuthor: // XPKeywords: // XPSubject

The example you provided doesn't output foo but outputs a chinese character :(

I use this to check: http://metapicz.com/#landing ( + also I do windows -> properties -> details tab to check ).

Any advice ?

The Code looks like:

It need to encode and decode as UCS2. Read the specification.

its saying uncaught pack error, when i used [...Buffer.from('Your XPTitle', 'ucs2')] using vue 3 js

from piexifjs.

In my case this issue happened due to big number in exifObj['GPS'][piexif.GPSIFD.GPSTimeStamp].
But it definitely depends. It can be related to any EXIF field. Not only GPS related.
