This NodeJS package Converts an Unicode string to a Base64 string and vice versa.

The package is entirely based in The "Unicode Problem" solution as described into Mozilla Developers web (See References).

You may want to use unib64 to:

• Encode Unicode text to be transmitted among systems not supporting such charsets.
• Encode Unicode text to further be set within an environment variable.

If you only need this package's ESM module in your NodeJS app, then install it as dependency:

npm install unib64

Bonus: If you expect to use the CLI program provided by this package, you will need to globally install this package within your system.

npm install -g unib64

This package provides an ESM module alongside a command line interface, both supplying the same encode/decode features.

This package comes along with a command line program enabling you to use the same encode/decode features as those provided by the ESM module:

$ unib64 encode "a Ā 𐀀 文 🦄"
YSDEgCDwkICAIOaWhyDwn6aE

$ unib64 decode "YSDEgCDwkICAIOaWhyDwn6aE"
a Ā 𐀀 文 🦄

import { encode } from 'unib64'

console.log(encode("a Ā 𐀀 文 🦄")) // YSDEgCDwkICAIOaWhyDwn6aE

import { decode } from 'unib64'

console.log(decode("YSDEgCDwkICAIOaWhyDwn6aE")) // a Ā 𐀀 文 🦄

Open a terminal into this repository root directory and run the following command:

npm test
