Question

Convert binary to Base64

0

Hi, We are using camera widget to capture an image and save it. Our server expects the image to be in Base64 format. But in mendix, we are getting it in binary format. We don't know a way to convert it to Base64. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks

Hi Manish,

The camera widget is storing the image in basically in the System.FileDocument which is indeed a binary. To get the content as Base64 string you should use the java action 'Base64EncodeFile' from the CommunityCommons appstore module. The input is a System.FileDocument (you're image object) and returns a Base64 string which you can use for you server.

Good luck!
