Convert C# To NodeJS

Hi so am trying to convert this C# function to NodeJS but it does not work I don't really know what is wrong lemme show some code and outputs

C#:

private static byte[] ConvertMsg(byte[] message, byte type = 255, byte cmd = 255)
{
    int msgLength = message.Length;
    byte[] bArray = new byte[msgLength + 3];
    bArray[0] = type;
    bArray[1] = cmd;
    Buffer.BlockCopy(message, 0, bArray, 2, msgLength);
    bArray[msgLength + 2] = 0;
    return bArray;
}

static void Main()
{

    byte[] encrypted = ConvertMsg(Encoding.Default.GetBytes("hi"),3,3);
    Console.WriteLine($"Encrypted: {Convert.ToBase64String(encrypted)}");

    Console.ReadKey();
}

Output:

AwNoaQA=

NodeJS:

function ConvertMsg(message, type=255, cmd=255){
    let length = message.length;
    let bArray = Buffer.alloc(length+3);
    bArray[0] = type;
    bArray[1] = cmd;

    bArray.copy(message,0,length);

    bArray[length + 2] = 0;
    return bArray;
}

let encrypted = ConvertMsg(Buffer.from("hi"),3,3);
console.log(encrypted.toString("base64"));

Output:

AwMAAAA=

As you can see the output is not the same any help is much appreciated, please explain when you answer I would like to learn more thank you.

According to Buffer documentation, .copy(target[, targetStart[, sourceStart[, sourceEnd]]])

Copies data from a region of buf to a region in target even if the target memory region overlaps with buf.

Here

// means copy 'bArray' starting from length to 'message' starting from 0
bArray.copy(message, 0, length);

You do not copy contents of message to bArray. You do the opposite thing - you copy bArray contents, which is [3, 3, 0, 0, 0] by now to message, and actually overwrite your message.

Then, you output this bArray, which results in AwMAAAA= which is Base64 representation of [3, 3, 0, 0, 0].

You may want to change your function in this way:

function ConvertMsg(message, type=255, cmd=255){
    let length = message.length;
    let bArray = Buffer.alloc(length + 3);

    bArray[0] = type;
    bArray[1] = cmd;

    // means copy 'message' starting from 0 to 'bArray' starting from 2
    message.copy(bArray, 2);

    bArray[length + 2] = 0;
    return bArray;
}
