Package Exports

uint8-to-base64

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.

Readme

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 utf-16 strings
const encoded = encode(utf8Binary);

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

// decode converts utf-16 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, polyfilled in tests in here as such.

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