How to get URL image as Base64 image data for zipping using JSZip

Question

I am working on a web project using Node.js, HTML5, CSS5 and Jquery. I need to get an image from the server using a URL (eg. address.com/image.jpg) as Base64 image data for zipping using JSZip.

Can anyone tell me how to get the url image as base64 image data? Thanks in advance!

You can convert all files regardless whether they are images or not.

1) read your file into a buffer.
2) call toString('base64') on that buffer.

You can use filters to do that for any image url, or you can have a separate endpoint to handle base64 conversions.
