V8 TextEncoder issue

library(V8)
library(mapview)
library(geojsonsf)

ct = v8(global="window")
ct$source("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/flatgeobuf-geojson.min.js")

ct$get("Object.keys(window)")

fran = sf_geojson(franconia[1, ])

jsfun = V8::JS(
  "(function(x) {
    flatgeobuf.serialize(JSON.parse(x));
  })"
)

ct$assign("serialize", jsfun)
ct$assign("fran", fran)

ct$assign("out", V8::JS("serialize(fran)"))

Make sure you use the latest V8 which has better object buffer handling! Also you need a polyfill as described here. This works for me:

library(V8)
library(mapview)
library(geojsonsf)

ct = v8(global="window")
ct$source("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/flatgeobuf-geojson.min.js")
ct$source("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/lib/encoding.min.js")

fran = sf_geojson(franconia[1, ])
ct$call('flatgeobuf.serialize', JS(fran))

Thanks so much @jeroen!!

This now works nicely and enables me to test things a lot more flexibly.
