(Node.js) Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.Decode method

Shows how to replace the deprecated Decode method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {

    var crypt = new chilkat.Crypt2();

    var encodedStr = "VGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3QgMTIz";
    var encoding = "base64";
    var success;

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // The Decode method is deprecated:

    outData = crypt.Decode(encodedStr,encoding);

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Workaround.
    // (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

    var bd = new chilkat.BinData();
    bd.AppendEncoded(encodedStr,encoding);

    var pBytes = bd.GetData();
