-
- 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.
