Usage

angular
    .module('myApp', ['base64'])
    .controller('myController', [
    
        '$base64', '$scope', 
        function($base64, $scope) {
        
            $scope.encoded = $base64.encode('a string');
            $scope.decoded = $base64.decode('YSBzdHJpbmc=');
    }]);

URL Safe Base64 Encoding

Base 64 encoded strings can be made "URL Safe" with encodeURIComponent...

var base64EncodedString = $base64.encode('whatever');
var urlSafeBase64EncodedString = encodeURIComponent(base64EncodedString);

To decode a "URL Safe" base 64 encoded string use decodeURIComponent before $base64.decode...

var base64EncodedString = decodeURIComponent('d2hhdGV2ZXI');
var decodedString = $base64.decode(base64EncodedString);
