> Small universal [`base64url`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#RFC_4648) functions for node.js and browsers.

This is a small wrapper around [`universal-base64`](https://github.com/blakeembrey/universal-base64) to support URL-safe base64 in node.js and browsers.

## Installation

```
npm install universal-base64url --save
```

## Usage

```js
import { decode, encode } from "universal-base64url";

encode("test"); //=> "dGVzdA"
decode("dGVzdA"); //=> "test"
```

## TypeScript

This module uses [TypeScript](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript) and contains type definitions on NPM.

## Related

As of October 2018, https://github.com/brianloveswords/base64url exists but is using the node.js `Buffer` API, instead of falling back on `atob`/`btoa` in browsers. It also has some issues with TypeScript definitions (includes node.js types in browser) and old browser compatibility. This libraries API is smaller and simpler by avoiding these issues.
