How to convert BuiltinString or BuiltinByteString to String?

Question

Is there a way to convert BuiltinString or BuiltinByteString to String ?

There are these functions in the module PlutusTx.Builtins.Class

stringToBuiltinByteString :: String -> BuiltinByteString

stringToBuiltinString :: String -> BuiltinString

Are there functions to perform the inverse operation?

Answer 1

Yes, per the definition, BuiltinByteString derives Show, so you can write show bbs, where bbs is your variable, and it will convert your BuiltinByteString into a String
