PHP pack function alternative for Node.js

I'm trying to connect to PayBox payment service. They propose a PHP solution, but I'm using Nodejs. In their solution they use PHP pack function of which I can't find an equivalent in Node.js.

This is the target:

$binKey = pack("H*", $secretKeyTest);

I found a package Hipack but it has couple of issues.

Solution

  • If you need to convert a hexadecimal string into a binary buffer, then something like this may work for you:

    var binKey =  Buffer.from(secretKeyTest, "hex");
