imageurl-base64

Node package to convert a binary returned from a url to base64/dataUri

var i2b = require("imageurl-base64");

i2b("http://whateveranyurl.co/anyimage.jpg", callback);

The callback will return an error object and an object containing the information about the image.

i2b("http://whateveranyurl.co/anyimage.jpg", function(err, data){

});

The data object has the keys mimeType, base64 and dataUri - giving you the flexibility to use the dataUri that was returned in previous versions < 1.0.0, as well being able to get access to the mimeType and the base64 version of the binary returned from the URL.

Extra notes

This module will give you an object for any URL given to it that returns a binary of any kind, if it's possible. This means that you can also get the data for a PDF for example.
