Ionic 2 - Need to convert image from an url to base64 string

Question

I am getting file url from server through http.post request. I need to convert image to base64 string for database storage.

Please let me know how can i convert image from an url to base64 string in ionic 2

I suggest converting image to Base64 on server side in order to avoid unnecessary data processing on user's end. — Stefan Svrkota, Dec 27 '16 at 09:17

As Stefan managed you probably want to do this server side; however if for whatever reason you cannot there's a bajillion resources out there showing you how to convert an image to base64. It's nothing Ionic specific, you can with just some javascript action. The below should get you started.
