How do I upload a base64 encoded image (string) directly to a Google Cloud Storage bucket using Node.js?

Question

Currently, I am using the @google-cloud/storage NPM package to upload a file directly to a Google Cloud Storage bucket. This requires some trickery as I only have the image\

If you want to save a string as a file in Google Cloud Storage, you can do it easily using the file.save method:

const {Storage} = require('@google-cloud/storage');
const storage = new Storage();
const myBucket = storage.bucket('my-bucket');

const file = myBucket.file('my-file.txt');
const contents = 'This is the contents of the file.';

file.save(contents).then(() => console.log('done'));
