This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (uint8-to-base64) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

A safe Uint8Array to base64 string converter

^{Social Media Photo by Suzanne D. Williams on Unsplash}

Compatible with any binary data and every modern JS engine.

import {encode, decode} from 'uint8-to-base64';
// const {encode, decode} = require('uint8-to-base64');

const utf8Binary = new Uint8Array(anyArrayBuffer);

// encode converts Uint8Array instances to base64 strings
const encoded = encode(utf8Binary);

// it's just like any other string
console.log(encoded);

// decode converts base64 strings, encoded via this module,
// into their original Uint8Array representation
const decoded = decode(encoded);

console.assert(
  JSON.stringify([...utf8Binary]) ===
  JSON.stringify([...decoded]),
  'safe Uint8Array to utf-16 conversion'
);

Please note this module requires global atob and btoa in NodeJS < 16, polyfilled in old tests in here as such.

global.btoa = str => Buffer.from(str).toString('base64');
global.atob = str => Buffer.from(str, 'base64').toString();
