Socket’s threat research team has detected six malicious npm packages typosquatting popular libraries to insert SSH backdoors.
$ npm install dataurl
Parses a dataurl string. Returns an object with three properties:
data
: unencoded datamimetype
: mimetype of the data, something like 'image/png'
charset
: charset of the data, if specifiedIf the input string isn't a valid dataURL, returns false
.
Creates a Read/Write Stream for encoding data as a DataURL.
Options expects up to three properties:
mimetype
: Requiredcharset
: Optionalencoded
: OptionalResulting stream will emit a data event for the header, then emit 'data' events for each chunk (base64 encoded, if necessary) as they pass through.
Example:
fs.createReadStream(pathToSomeImage).pipe(
dataurl.stream({ mimetype: 'image/png'})
).pipe(process.stderr, {end: false});
Converts some data to a dataurl string. Options expects up to four properties
