_Note: In this video, `atob` and `btoa` are reversed!_

# Installation

## Prerequisites

* On Linux, you need `base64` from `coreutils` installed.
* On Windows, you need [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/).

## Vundle

Use your preferred Vim plugin installation method.

If you like [Vundle](https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim):

Add to your `.vimrc`:

Plugin 'christianrondeau/vim-base64'

And install it:

:so ~/.vimrc
    :PluginInstall

Or with [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):

Add to your `.vimrc`:

Plug 'christianrondeau/vim-base64'

And install it:

:so ~/.vimrc
    :PlugInstall

# Usage

You can encode and decode base64 string in several modes.

Note that if you provide invalid base64 strings, your text will ben replaced by the error message.

## In a Visual Selection (`v`)

After replacement, the new text will automatically be visually selected.

* `<leader>atob` to convert from base64 to a string
* `<leader>btoa` to convert from a string to base64

## Doing a regex replacement

You can also, in normal mode, replace all instances of a regular expression by their base64 representation, using `<leader>btoa/` or `<leader>atob/`. This will insert a command mode string, with your cursor directly where you can type the regular expression.

Before making pull requests, make sure that [tests](tests/) still pass. They are using [Vader.vim](https://github.com/junegunn/vader.vim).

To run tests, either use `:Vader tests/*` from the `vim-base64` folder, or `:Vader %` from within a test file.
