I tried that and still get an error that says isValid is not a function?
C:\nodejs>node buftest.js
buffer
C:\nodejs\buftest.js:9
if (isValid(buf1)){
^

var isValid = require('utf-8-validate').isValidUTF8;
const buf1 = new Buffer('buffer');
console.log(buf1.toString());
if (isValid(buf1)){
console.log('true')
}
else {
console.log('false')
};
