• Encode/decode library vs Buffer (Jakub)

Meeting Notes

• Current thoughts on Serialization/deserialization of data stored into db and send via transport layer:
  • Transform class instance to JSON string just before storing
  • Directly after retrieving transform to class instance again
  • Jakub Koci Will think more about it
• Karim Stekelenburg started using the framework inside a react native app
  • Will give insights on the consumer side of the framework.
  • For now only Android. Working on iOS
  • Current issues:
    • OutboundPackage not exposed from index of framework
    • IndySDK is needed (because of devDependency) even when using framework in React Native app

Action items

• Timo Glastra - Remove global Indy type definitions. Make type imports explicit.
• We need to document and be aware of packages and globals that are native to NodeJS
  • buffer → https://www.npmjs.com/package/buffer
  • events → https://www.npmjs.com/package/events
• Jakub Koci Replace base64 NPM package with buffer
