## README

# node-b64
Basic implementations of btoa and atob for Node v6+


### Why?
Becaue I got tired of writing
```js
Buffer.from(x, 'base64').toString('utf8');
```


### Usage

Using the entire module:

```js
"use strict";

const b64 = require('node-b64');

const str = 'this is some stuff';


/**
 * Encode a string
 */
b64.btoa(str);

// Prints -> 'dGhpcyBpcyBzb21lIHN0dWZm'


/**
 * Decode a string
 */

b64.atob(b64.btoa(str));

// Prints -> 'this is some stuff'


/**
 * Works with buffers too
 */
btoa(Buffer.from('foo')) === btoa('foo')

// true

```


Or just use one of the two functions:

```js
const btoa = require('node-b64/btoa');
const atob = require('node-b64/atob');

const str2 = 'this is other stuff';

btoa(str2);

atob(btoa(str2));

```
