@hexagon/base64-arraybuffer

Encode/decode base64 or base64url data into ArrayBuffers.

This is basically github.com/niklasvh/base64-arraybuffer, but with added base64url support.

Installing

Node

You can install the module via npm:

npm install @hexagon/base64-arraybuffer

const base64 = require('@hexagon/base64-arraybuffer');

const result = base64.encode("Hello World!");
const resultUrl = base64.encode("Hello World!", true);

CDN / Browser / Deno

www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@hexagon/base64-arraybuffer?path=dist

In a browser, you normally want /dist/base64-arraybuffer.umd.js which will register a global object named base64

// Global object base64 available

const result = base64.encode("Hello World!");
const resultUrl = base64.encode("Hello World!", true);

API

The library encodes and decodes base64/base64url to and from ArrayBuffers

• encode(buffer) - Encodes ArrayBuffer into base64 string

• decode(str) - Decodes base64 string to ArrayBuffer

• encode(buffer, true) - Encodes ArrayBuffer into base64url string

• decode(str, true) - Decodes base64url string to ArrayBuffer

Testing

You can run the test suite with:

npm test
