# btoa-lite

|
Smallest/simplest possible means of using btoa with both Node and browserify.
|
|
|
|
In the browser, encoding base64 strings is done using:
|
|
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
var encoded = btoa(decoded)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However in Node, it's done like so:
|
|
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
var encoded = new Buffer(decoded).toString('base64')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can easily check if `Buffer` exists and switch between the approaches
|
|
accordingly, but using `Buffer` anywhere in your browser source will pull
|
|
in browserify's `Buffer` shim which is pretty hefty. This package uses
|
|
the `main` and `browser` fields in its `package.json` to perform this
|
|
check at build time and avoid pulling `Buffer` in unnecessarily.
|
|
|
|
