Prima::...:base64(3)

okay bestie, welcome to Prima::...:base64(3) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page 💅 this one is all about Prima::Image::base64, and it’s lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

Prima::Image::base64 — hardcoded image files 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It loads and saves images from and to base64-encoded data streams. This allows loading images directly from the source code — yes bestie, the image is literally chilling inside your code, no cap ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

my $icon = Prima::Icon->load_stream(<<~'ICON');
        R0lGODdhIAAgAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAIAAgAIAAAAD///8CT4SPqcvtD6OctNqLcwogcK91nEhq

        ICON

print $icon->save_stream;

💅 API 💅

load, load_image BASE64_STRING, %OPTIONS

Decodes BASE64_STRING and tries to load an image from it. Returns image reference(s) on success, or undef, ERROR_STRING on failure 😭

load_icon BASE64_STRING, %OPTION

Same as load_image but returns a Prima::Icon instance. Note the %OPTION singular, iykyk 🫶

save IMAGE_OR_ICON, %OPTIONS

Saves an image to a datastream and encodes it in base64. Unless $OPTIONS{codecID} or "$image-"{extras}->{codecID}> field is set, it tries to deduce the best codec for the job — yes, that second field is spelled exactly like that on the page, I’m not touching it, periodt.

Returns the encoded content on success, or undef, ERROR_STRING on failure 💀
