Can't install anymore, npm base64 seems to be obsolete now about jwt-decode HOT 6 CLOSED

Node.js has been always able to encode/decode base64.

New browsers can do it as well. The reason I used this library was to support old browsers

Ok so i helped out myself... With a handy little code snippet as found on scotch.io (and on many other places):

Create your own little class with this implementation for example and i was able to remove "jwt-decode" completely from my project and my auth0 demo impl finally works now :)

@rvetere Yes, I will take care of this. node.js always supported base64 encoding/decoding, the reason I used a pure js module was to support old browsers.

Yes i've understood this point already on the first reading.. it's just not really helpful information when your stuck with your setup just because of an un-installable package ;) So, what will the fix will be..? Will the auth0 package soon be updated to latest packages or.. you still waiting until angular2 becomes more "final"..? I mean, the auth0 demo project is still include beta.0.. two weeks ago beta.8 was relased and 1 day ago, beta.9 came out... it is actually extremely outdated..

And so far as i can see - the part where the decode is used most, it is unfortunately on the client.. you will never have nodejs there to support your base64 ;)

I just wanted to post my solution here so others may find help by going trough this thread.

Sorry I didn't see my previous response hahha.

I just tried using Buffer directly and it works in the browser, but the problem is that the size increases by a factor of 10x...

I will test this one:

Done! v2.0.0 doesn't have any dependency.
