How to do Base64 encoding in node.js?

Question

Does node.js have built-in base64 encoding yet?

The reason why I ask this is that final() from crypto can only output hex, binary or ascii

Answer 1

I have created a ultimate small js npm library for the base64 encode/decode conversion in Node.js.

Installation

npm install nodejs-base64-converter --save

Usage

var nodeBase64 = require('nodejs-base64-converter');

console.log(nodeBase64.encode("test text")); //dGVzdCB0ZXh0
console.log(nodeBase64.decode("dGVzdCB0ZXh0")); //test text
