base 64 encode and decode a string in angular (2+)
How to encode or decode a string in angular 2 with base64 ??? My front-end tool is Angular 2. I had a password string, before passing it to API I need to base64 encode. Since in service base64 encoded string will be decoded.
So I am looking for some base64 encode/decode library for Angular2/Typescript and some options.
Thanks!!!
Use the btoa()
function to encode:
console.log(btoa("password")); // cGFzc3dvcmQ=
To decode, you can use the atob()
function:
console.log(atob("cGFzc3dvcmQ=")); // password
From Angular 12 btoa()
and atob()
functions are deprecated. Use these instead:
console.log(Buffer.from("Hello World").toString('base64'));
// SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=
console.log(Buffer.from("SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=", 'base64').toString('binary'))
// Hello World
Note: you must explicit encoding!
Use btoa("yourstring")

TypeScript is a superset of Javascript, it can use existing Javascript libraries and web APIs
For encoding to base64 in Angular2, you can use btoa() function.
Example:-
console.log(btoa("stringAngular2"));
// Output:- c3RyaW5nQW5ndWxhcjI=
For decoding from base64 in Angular2, you can use atob() function.
Example:-
console.log(atob("c3RyaW5nQW5ndWxhcjI="));
// Output:- stringAngular2
