What are parse-data-uri's main functionalities?

Parse a data URI

This feature allows you to parse a data URI string and extract its components, such as media type, data, and parameters. The code sample demonstrates how to use the parse-data-uri package to parse a simple text data URI.

const parseDataUri = require('parse-data-uri');
const dataUri = 'data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==';
const parsed = parseDataUri(dataUri);
console.log(parsed);

Handle different media types

This feature shows how the package can handle different media types, such as images. The code sample demonstrates parsing a data URI that contains a base64-encoded PNG image.

const parseDataUri = require('parse-data-uri');
const imageDataUri = 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA...';
const parsedImage = parseDataUri(imageDataUri);
console.log(parsedImage);

Extract base64 data

This feature allows you to extract the base64-encoded data from a data URI. The code sample demonstrates how to parse a data URI and then extract the base64 data from the parsed result.

const parseDataUri = require('parse-data-uri');
const dataUri = 'data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==';
const parsed = parseDataUri(dataUri);
const base64Data = parsed.data;
console.log(base64Data);
