Masking string to integer and unmask to string. wip, has bit limit and is not useful for large messages

mask-str.js

const bits = 8

function mask(src) {
  return Array.from(src).map(e => e.charCodeAt(0)).map((e, i) => e << (i * bits)).reduce((acc, e) => acc | e, 0)
}

function unmask(src) {
  let i = 0
  const codes = []
  const b = (1 << bits) - 1

  while (src !== 0) {
    console.log(src.toString(2))
    codes.push(src & b)
    src = src >> bits
    i++
  }

  return codes.map(e => String.fromCharCode(e)).join('')
}

console.log(mask("v16.13.2"))
