## README

# b64-lite [![NPM](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/b64-lite.svg)](https://npmjs.com/package/b64-lite) [![Build](https://travis-ci.org/kevlened/b64-lite.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kevlened/b64-lite) [![bundlephobia](https://img.shields.io/bundlephobia/minzip/b64-lite.svg)](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=b64-lite)

Node, browser, and React Native base64 library

## Usage

```javascript
const b64 = require('b64-lite');

// Base64 in ASCII to byte string
b64.atob('aGkgdGhlcmU=');
// hi there

// byte string to Base64 in ASCII
b64.btoa('hi there');
// aGkgdGhlcmU=

// convert unicode to b64
b64.toBase64('hello 你好');
// aGVsbG8g5L2g5aW9

// convert a buffer to b64
b64.toBase64(new Uint8Array([228, 189, 160, 229, 165, 189]).buffer);
// 5L2g5aW9

// decode b64 to unicode
b64.fromBase64('aGVsbG8g5L2g5aW9');
// hello 你好

// convert b64 to a buffer
b64.toBuffer('5L2g5aW9');
// new Uint8Array([228, 189, 160, 229, 165, 189]).buffer
```

## Can it be smaller?

If you use ES6 imports with a bundler that supports tree-shaking, yes!

```javascript
import { toBase64 } from 'b64-lite'
```
