Buffer to String with bytes as string

Question

In Node.js I am getting a buffer result as:

<Buffer 21 61 0b>

How can I convert this to a string like this:

“21610b”

All the methods and suggestions I have seen online are for converting the buffer to a string but that will change the layout. I want to keep the exact same layout as string.

I am very confused as to why you would do this... this will completely change what the data is... — about14sheep

The console summarizes Buffer objects by displaying the first few bytes in hexadecimal notation. To convert a Buffer to a string of hexadecimals, use .toString('hex').
