`btoa` issue in `bufferToBase64` function

[harrybaines]

Been following the buildspace AI avatar generator project and loving it so far!

I did come across an issue when creating the React app. In the bufferToBase64 function:

const bufferToBase64 = (buffer) => {
    let arr = new Uint8Array(buffer);
    const base64 = btoa(
        arr.reduce((data, byte) => data + String.fromCharCode(byte), '')
    )
    return `data:image/png;base64,${base64}`;
};

I had an issue with btoa not being defined:

error - ReferenceError: btoa is not defined

I did an npm install --save buffer and added import { btoa } from "buffer"; to pages/api/generate.js which fixed my issue. Not sure if anyone else had the same issue?

This is likely an issue with your version of Node. Mb, should have clarified which versions this is a problem on, we missed it in QA

Cool, FYI my version was v14.19.3.

const buffer = require('buffer');

const BufferToBase64 = (binaryData) => {
  return buffer.from(binaryData).toString('base64');
};

I added this in my generate.js file and it worked fine!
