ArrayBuffer to base64 encoded string

Question

I need an efficient (read native) way to convert an ArrayBuffer to a base64 string which needs to be used on a multipart post.

Answer 1

The OP did not specify the Running Enviroment but if you are using Node.JS there is a very simple way to do such thing.

Accordig with the official Node.JS docs https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buffers_and_character_encodings

// This step is only necessary if you don't already have a Buffer Object
const buffer = Buffer.from(yourArrayBuffer);

const base64String = buffer.toString('base64');

Also, If you are running under Angular for example, the Buffer Class will also be made available in a Browser Environment.
