number-to-base64

number-to-base64

Extremely fast number to radix64 converting.

Features

• Converts all values of javascript safe integers range (from -9007199254740991 to 9007199254740991)
• Extremely fast due to bitwise operations
• Does not add extra padding characters for more efficient compression
• ES3 compatible

Installation

npm install number-to-base64

API

ntob(number)

Takes a number, discards a fractional part and returns a string.

bton(base64)

Takes a string and returns a number.

Usage

Browser directly

<script src="https://unpkg.com/number-to-base64/dist/number-to-base64.min.js"></script>

<script>
  var number = -9007199254740991;
  var base64 = numberToBase64.ntob(number);
  var back = numberToBase64.bton(base64);
  console.log('%s -> "%s" -> %s (%s)', number, base64, back, back === number);
</script>

Output

-9007199254740991 -> "-f////////" -> -9007199254740991 (true)

ES6

import { ntob, bton } from 'number-to-base64';

const test = (number) => {
  const base64 = ntob(number);
  const back = bton(base64);
  console.log('%s -> "%s" -> %s (%s)', number, base64, back, back === number);
};
