Hello i am facing a problem with an unexpected unicode character. let me further describe my case:
I have a simple class that hashes a string named HashFunction.js
:
var crypto = require('crypto')
module.exports=class HashFunction {
constructor() {
}
hashString(pubkey){
const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256');
var sha256PublicKeyHash=hash.update(pubkey).digest();
return sha256PublicKeyHash;
}
}
i am using browserify to create the bundle with this command.
browserify src/HashFunction.js --save utf-8-validate --standalone mybundle > src/HashBundle.js
Here is the simple index.html
file:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<meta name="theme-color" content="#000000" />
<meta
name="description"
content="Web site created using create-react-app"
/>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/logo192.png" />
<link rel="manifest" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json" />
<title>React App</title>
<script src="../src/HashBundle.js"></script>
<script src="../src/example.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript>
<div id="root"></div>
</body>
</html>
When i am trying to load the bundle file from plain js it loads successfully with this code example.js
:
var mnem = new mybundle();
let hash_result=mnem.hashString("a value")
My problem now is when i am trying to call the bundle file from react i got a syntax error with unexpected characters:
./src/HashBundle.js
Syntax error: D:/Documents/IdeaProjects/react_app_testing/src/HashBundle.js: Unexpected character '�' (1:0)

Here is my simple react js code:
import { useState, useEffect} from "react";
import React from 'react';
import {HashBundle} from '../HashBundle'
function Test2() {
const [inputValue, setInputValue] = useState("");
useEffect(() => {
var obj = new mybundle();
let hash_result=obj.hashString("a value")
setInputValue(hash_result)
}, [inputValue]);
return (
<div>
<h2>Current Value: {inputValue}</h2>
</div>
);
}
export default Test2;
Why is this happening??? how to bypass the Unexpected character '�' (1:0)
??? Do I load the correct js from react???
It look like the files was auto-encoded with UTF-16 BE BOM.
If you have notepad++ you can remove it by click to "Encoding" -> "Convert to UTF-8":
