stdcp

An effort to encapsulate the output code page used by the console of current process.

This library provides native bindings for Windows APIs:

• GetACP
• GetConsoleOutputCP
• SetConsoleOutputCP

Use Case

const stdcp = require("stdcp");

// Asynchronously APIs
(async () => {
  console.log(await stdcp.get(true))  // Get current Windows code page.
  console.log(await stdcp.get())      // Get code page for current console.
  await stdcp.set(65001);             // Set code page for current console.
})();

// Synchronously APIs
(() => {
  console.log(stdcp.getSync(true))  // Get current Windows code page.
  console.log(stdcp.getSync())      // Get code page for current console.
  stdcp.setSync(65001)              // Set code page for current console.
})();
