Jifty:...base64(3pm)

✨ Jifty::DBI::Filter::base64 ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the base64 filter from the Jifty::DBI fam 💖 (it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, iykyk)

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

Jifty::DBI::Filter::base64 — it encodes data as base64, periodt 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole vibe of this filter? it lets you store arbitrary data in a column of type <code>text</code>. that's it, that's the serve 🫶 no cap.

---

🦋 encode 🦋

if the value is defined, it gets encoded using <code>encode_base64</code> in <code>MIME::Base64</code> — but <em>only</em> after it's been passed through <code>encode_utf8</code> in <code>Encode</code> first. two-step glow-up, iconic ✨

and if the value is not defined? it literally does <strong>nothing</strong>. doesn't touch it. minding its own business 💀

---

🧚 decode 🧚

if the value is defined, it decodes it using <code>decode_base64</code> in <code>MIME::Base64</code>. otherwise, <strong>do nothing</strong> — it's giving chill, it's giving unbothered 😌
