Function: encodeBase64()

Creates a encoded ASCII string from a BinaryObject or string using Base64.

You can use this method to encode data which may otherwise cause communication problems, transmit it, then use the decodeBase64 method to decode the data again. For example, you can encode control characters.

Call Signature

function encodeBase64(chars: string, encoding: TextEncoding): string;

Defined in: encode-base64.ts:19

Convert a string to binary using encodeText with the supplied encoding, and then encode it to Base64.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
chars	string	The string to encode
encoding	TextEncoding	The encoding of the input string

Returns

string

An ASCII string containing the Base64 representation

Example

encodeBase64('Hello, world!', 'utf8'); // "SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ=="
