Bug: TextDecoder doesn’t exist in React Native environment

[Junior580]

When using uint8array-tools in a React Native 0.79.0 project, the following error occurs at runtime:
Uncaught Error: Property 'TextDecoder' doesn't exist

browser.js:12:21
const DECODER = new TextDecoder();
                 ^ Property 'TextDecoder' doesn't exist

Affected file:
node_modules/uint8array-tools/src/mjs/browser.js

Possible Cause

React Native does not provide TextEncoder or TextDecoder in the global environment.
As a result, libraries that depend on them (like this one) will throw errors when used outside of Node.js or browsers.

This can be mitigated by adding a small polyfill using the text-encoding
package.

Suggested Fix:

Add a conditional polyfill at the top of browser.js (or detect the React Native environment and import text-encoding only when needed).

import 'text-encoding'

Environment

React Native: 0.79.0

uint8array-tools: latest npm version

Platform: iOS (also occurs on Android)
