Are any other encodings actually useful? #1

The default encoding option is set to base64. I'm curious if any other node-supported buffer.toString encodings are useful in this plugin?

For example, hex, latin1, or ascii don't seem to be reasonable options to me.

Maybe I'm missing some use cases?

you can specify encoding which you want, like utf8, utf16le, latin1, base64, hex, ascii, binary, ucs2.

{
  "plugins": [
    ["snowpack-plugin-inliner", {
       "encoding": "hex"
    }],
  ],
}

but maybe not work in browser without use base64 to encode for data-urls

Yeah, I don't think that would work in a browser. Thanks for clarifying though.
