atob-lite
Smallest/simplest possible means of using atob with both Node and browserify.
In the browser, decoding base64 strings is done using:
var decoded = atob(encoded)
However in Node, it's done like so:
var decoded = new Buffer(encoded, 'base64').toString('utf8')
You can easily check if Buffer
exists and switch between the approaches accordingly, but using Buffer
anywhere in your browser source will pull in browserify's Buffer
shim which is pretty hefty. This package uses the main
and browser
fields in its package.json
to perform this check at build time and avoid pulling Buffer
in unnecessarily.
Usage
decoded = atob(encoded)
Returns the decoded value of a base64-encoded string.
