encode static method

List<int> encode(
  1. String value, {
  2. StringEncoding type = StringEncoding.utf8,
})

Encodes the given value string into a list of bytes using the specified type.

The type parameter determines the encoding type to use, with UTF-8 being the default. Returns a list of bytes representing the encoded string.

Implementation

static List<int> encode(String value,
    {StringEncoding type = StringEncoding.utf8}) {
  switch (type) {
    case StringEncoding.utf8:
      return utf8.encode(value);
    case StringEncoding.base64:
    case StringEncoding.base64UrlSafe:
      return base64Decode(value);
    default:
      return ascii.encode(value);
  }
}
