Read models weight as string

[prestashopy]

Hello!,

I have saved the uncompressed model as a string in my code, with raw-loader:

https://github.com/justadudewhohacks/face-api.js-models/blob/master/uncompressed/tiny_face_detector_model.weights

Now I would like to read and get the indexes of the model string like Float32Array.

If making a fecth to a public folder works correctly:

const res = await fetch ('/ models / tiny_face_detector_model.weights');
const abuffer = await res.arrayBuffer ();
console.info ("abuffer", new Float32Array (abuffer));

But if I try to read the var string I can't decode it to get the array correctly, something like this:

import tiny_face_detector_weights from './models/tiny_face_detector_model.weights';
const abuffer = Buffer.from (tiny_face_detector_weights , 'utf-8');
console.info ("abuffer", new Float32Array (abuffer));

What encoding is the file, and how should I do it to read it correctly?

Thank you!
