I tried to encode text to base64 using btoa function in Node.js, but I get this error:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const base64Data = btoa(data);2
^3
ReferenceError: btoa is not definedMy code:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const data = 'password';2
const base64Data = btoa(data);3
console.log(base64Data);How to solve it? Is there no btoa method in Node.js?

Unfortunately, Node.js does not support this method. The solution, however, is to use the Buffer class, so you can use:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const btoa = (text) => {2
return Buffer.from(text, 'binary').toString('base64');3
};4

console.log(btoa('This is text...')); // VGhpcyBpcyB0ZXh0Li4uCheck out this article:
