Best way to make file buffer accessible outside a callback function in Javascript for large files? Best way to make file buffer accessible outside a callback function in Javascript for large files?

I am new to JS, and I need to load a file1, decompress a part of it to file2, and then make that decompressed file2 available to user's download--all completely browser-side (no Node.js etc.).

For decompression I have:

let fb;

const decB = document.querySelector('button[id="dec"]')
const inputB = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]')
    
input.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
    

    const r = new FileReader()
    r.onload = function () {
        const archive = new Uint8Array(r.result, start, length)
        try {
            fb = pako.inflate(archive);
         
          } catch (err) {
            console.log(err);
          }
    }
    r.readAsArrayBuffer(input.files[0])
}, false)

decB.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
  try {
    const t = new TextDecoder().decode(fb)
    console.log(t)
    
  } catch(err) {
    console.log(err)
  }
}, false)

I want to be able to access the contents of the result in other functions. Is using a global variable the best way to do it, or is there a more proper solution?

\\u0000 cannot be converted to text error \\u0000 cannot be converted to text error

I am using NextJS and supabase to insert some data into PostgreSQL database. Data is array of objects. The error is like this \\u0000 cannot be converted to text. unsupported Unicode escape sequence . There is no unicode character like \\u0000 in my data. There is a error response but I cant see which keys value is causing the error. Is there any way to resolve this issue? const Data = async (req, res) => { try { const { data, error } = await supabase.from('db').insert([]) return res.status(200).json({ data: data, error: error, }); } catch (error) { console.log(error); } } from Stackoverflow

Using Ts-Standard linting, JSDoc comment at beginning of file triggers "This rule requires the `strictNullChecks` compiler option" error Using Ts-Standard linting, JSDoc comment at beginning of file triggers "This rule requires the `strictNullChecks` compiler option" error

I'm using Typescript and the TS-standard version of StandardJS's ESlint plugin and extension for VSCode. I have been using JSDoc-style comment blocks ( /** Some text */ ) at the beginning of javascript and now typescript files to indicate things like author and give a general overview of the contents of the file. I was using the standardJS eslint plugin already, but it generally didn't work properly on my code library, never figured out why. Recently I started upgrading my codebase to Typescript, and now I'm getting this error on all of these comment blocks: This rule requires the `strictNullChecks` compiler option to be turned on to function correctly. (@typescript-eslint/strict-boolean-expressions)ts-standard(@typescript-eslint/strict-boolean-expressions) I tried turning on the strictNullChecks option, and it did indeed clear that error, but is also a nightmare for certain places where I know values aren't going to be null if the object exists at all (and using...

How to extract items from a subarray and push them to the main array

I'm doing a type speed test and, for this, I'll need to get a random item from an array, split every letter, push it to a new one and re-do this several times. But, every time I split the string from the first array, returns to my new array a subarray, instead of just letters. How can I extract everything from the subarrays and put into my main array? var Pokemon = ["Bulbasaur","Ivysaur","Venusaur","Charmander","Charmeleon","Charizard","Squirtle","Wartortle","Blastoise","Caterpie","Metapod","Butterfree","Weedle","Kakuna","Beedrill","Pidgey","Pidgeotto","Pidgeot","Rattata","Raticate","Spearow","Fearow","Ekans","Arbok","Pikachu","Raichu","Sandshrew","Sandslash","Nidoran","Nidorina",...
