📰 Dev.to · Shaishav Patel
Learn to build a Base64 encoder/decoder with file support in Next.js to handle data URLs, email attachments, and API payloads
Action Steps
- Create a new Next.js project using `npx create-next-app` to set up the development environment
- Build a Base64 encoder function using JavaScript's built-in `btoa` function to convert strings to Base64
- Implement a Base64 decoder function using JavaScript's built-in `atob` function to convert Base64 strings back to original text
- Add file support to the encoder/decoder by using the `FileReader` API to read file contents and convert them to Base64
- Test the encoder/decoder with sample files and strings to ensure correct functionality
