Array buffer encoding, decoding to strings

I had a problem where I couldn’t return an array buffer (binary data) in a SvelteKit load function. You can only return POJOs. The solution is simple though - stringify when encoding and parse when decoding!

// Load function
const stringifiedImage = JSON.stringify(Array.from(new Uint8Array(image)));

return {
  stringifiedImage
}

// +page.svelte

export let data;
const parsedImage = JSON.parse(data.stringifiedImage);

Easy!

You can get your metadata from mdsvex by simply doing

// ... Vite glob import above
for (let path in modules) {
  const post = await modules[path]();
  const metadata = post.metadata;

Handy if you want to access title/tags or whatever in your SvelteKit load functions!

+page.server.js instead of +page.js can give errors

When used with mdsvex using a server only rendered file causes file can cause passing imports as page data to fail.
