how do i convert a http response to a buffer? im using the http pub package https://pub.dev/packages/http and one of the endpoints of an api im using is returning an image file, i want to convert it to a buffer. in JS i'd just do

const result = await res.buffer();

but how do i do it in dart?

I tried a few different methods of the Response class but couldnt get my head around it

CodePudding user response：

Node describes Buffer as

The Buffer class is a subclass of JavaScript's Uint8Array class

So it may safe assume that you can use the Response.bodyBytes (which is a dart Uint8List type) field as jamesdlin suggested.
