base64 encode and decode a string in angular (2+)

Question

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!!!

Answer 1

Use btoa() for encode and atob() for decode

text_val:any="your encoding text";

Encoded Text: console.log(btoa(this.text_val)); //eW91ciBlbmNvZGluZyB0ZXh0

Decoded Text: console.log(atob("eW91ciBlbmNvZGluZyB0ZXh0")); //your encoding text

Answer 2

For encoding to base64 in Angular2, you can use btoa() function.

Example:-

console.log(btoa("stringAngular2")); 
// Output:- c3RyaW5nQW5ndWxhcjI=

For deconding from base64 in Angular2, you can use atob() function.

Example:-

console.log(atob("c3RyaW5nQW5ndWxhcjI=")); 
// Output:- stringAngular2

Answer 3

Use the btoa() function to encode:

console.log(btoa("password")); // cGFzc3dvcmQ=

To decode, you can use the atob() function:

console.log(atob("cGFzc3dvcmQ=")); // password

Answer 4

Use btoa("yourstring")
