How to convert file to base64 in JavaScript?

by

Try the solution using the FileReader class:

function getBase64(file) {
   var reader = new FileReader();
   reader.readAsDataURL(file);
   reader.onload = function () {
     console.log(reader.result);
   };
   reader.onerror = function (error) {
     console.log('Error: ', error);
   };
}

var file = document.querySelector('#files > input[type="file"]').files[0];
getBase64(file); // prints the base64 string

Notice that .files[0] is a File type, which is a sublcass of Blob. Thus it can be used with FileReader.
See the complete working example.
