Simple SilverStripe module to generate a Base64 encoded string of File or Image data that can be used in image tags, etc.
Install via composer:
composer require i-lateral/silverstripe-file-base64
This module automatically adds two methods to files and images that allow accessing the data string:
NOTE: Currently the following methods will only
return a data string of the base image NOT a modified
image (for example using Image methods like Fill or Fit)
Returns the base 64 encoded string of the file/image data. For example, in a template you can call:
$Image.Base64
Returns a Data URL that can be used in image tags, links etc. To use it in templates you can call:
<img src="$Image.Base64DataURL">
