In NodeJS, use Buffer to convert string to hex.

Buffer.from('hello world', 'utf8').toString('hex');

Simple example about how it works:

const bufferText = Buffer.from('hello world', 'utf8'); // or Buffer.from('hello world')
console.log(bufferText); // <Buffer 68 65 6c 6c 6f 20 77 6f 72 6c 64>

const text = bufferText.toString('hex');
// To get hex
console.log(text); // 68656c6c6f20776f726c64

console.log(bufferText.toString()); // or toString('utf8')
// hello world

//one single line
Buffer.from('hello world').toString('hex')
