I'm facing a new kind of error and I'm kind of stuck here. I have a lightweight code editor in my app and I send its content (typed by the user) to my back-end, encoding it in base64. First I used codeContent.toString("base64");
method and it worked like a charm with this kind of testing content:
let numberTest = 52;
let arrayTest = [63, 24, 75];
let sumTest = numberTest + arrayTest[0];
The problem here, is that I can't decode it back to UTF-8 when I want to retrieve this code from my API, I get some gibberish.
So I tried this method instead: atob(codeContent);
. In this case, if I type a simple text like: test
, the encoded version looks fine ( µë-
), but the content is still empty in my backend after my POST. And if I try this with a simple line of JS like let testNumber = 52;
, then I get this error: "DOMException: String contains an invalid character"
To sum it up: I'm a little lost, what's the good way to encode my text to base64 and retrieve it afterwards?
My problem was that I understood atob and btoa wrong: I thought b toa decoded FROM base64, but it's the other way around. So, encoding TO base64:
btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(str)));
And decoding base64:
decodeURIComponent(escape(window.atob(str)));
