Method: SecurizeString::Base64Methods::InstanceMethods#from_base64

Defined in:
lib/securize_string/base64_methods.rb

#from_base64(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Decodes from base64.

By default, this decodes the normal RFC 2045 Base64.

If the url_safe option is set to true, then it decodes the RFC 4648 encoding, which uses a slightly different encoding mechanism which is sometimes compatible, but often incompatible with RFC 2045.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
