[Solved] Atob/btoa on server side

help
1

I’m trying to user atob and btoa on the server side. Specifically, trying to use it to handle a HTTP request with restivus.

So have some code for a post() method on server side. A HTTP msg comes in. But one of the fields is base64 encoded. What would be the recommended solution here? (a) global buffer (trying to avoid this) (b) polyfill? © import atob package?

The problem is that atob and btoa are only on the browser, and Buffer is not recommend due to size? An assist would be appreciated.

[Solved]

Node does not have, or expect to have, atob and btoa, hence is not available sever side. This is becuase these methods are provided by a browser normally, and not by whatever is on the server. Simple solution, do a meteor npm install --save atob btoa and then it is possible to use this as expected. The packages are just wrappers on the original implementations.
