Advanced tools
Readme
Encode and decode base64 strings.
Install with npm
npm install libbase64
Require in your script
const libbase64 = require('libbase64');
Encode Buffer objects or unicode strings with
libbase64.encode(val) → String
Where
Example
libbase64.encode('jõgeva');
// asO1Z2V2YQ==
To enforce soft line breaks on lines longer than selected amount of characters, use wrap
libbase64.wrap(str[, lineLength]) → String
Where
Example
libbase64.wrap('asO1Z2V2asO1Z2V2asO1Z2V2YQ==', 10);
// asO1Z2V2as\r\n
// O1Z2V2asO1\r\n
// Z2V2YQ==
libbase64
makes it possible to encode and decode streams with libbase64.Encoder
and libbase64.Decoder
constructors.
Create new Encoder Stream with
const encoder = new libbase64.Encoder([options])
Where
false
to turn the soft wrapping off completely)Example
The following example script reads in a file, encodes it to base64 and saves the output to a file.
const libbase64 = require('libbase64');
const fs = require('fs');
const source = fs.createReadStream('source.txt');
const encoded = fs.createReadStream('encoded.txt');
const encoder = new libbase64.Encoder();
source.pipe(encoder).pipe(encoded);
Create new Decoder Stream with
const decoder = new libbase64.Decoder([options])
Where
Example
The following example script reads in a file in base64 encoding, decodes it and saves the output to a file.
const libbase64 = require('libbase64');
const fs = require('fs');
const encoded = fs.createReadStream('encoded.txt');
const dest = fs.createReadStream('dest.txt');
const decoder = new libbase64.Decoder();
encoded.pipe(decoder).pipe(dest);
