Creates a base-64 encoded ASCII string from a String object in which each character in the string is treated as a byte of binary data.
|
|
|
|
- Create a `Buffer` for the given string with binary encoding.
|
|
- Use `Buffer.prototype.toString()` to return the base-64 encoded string.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const btoa = str => Buffer.from(str, 'binary').toString('base64');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
btoa('foobar'); // 'Zm9vYmFy'
|
|
```
