dsh-base64-file

When building HTML pages, composing JSON payloads, or handling front-end assets, you often need to encode a local file (especially an image) into a Base64 string or data URL for inline embedding, or decode a data URL back into a file on disk. dsh-base64-file is a lightweight plugin built for exactly this everyday need, letting you encode and decode files with a single conversational prompt instead of writing throwaway scripts.

The plugin ships two tools: file_to_base64 reads a local file and returns either a raw Base64 string or a complete data URL; base64_to_file does the reverse, writing a Base64 string or data URL back to a file on disk. It is implemented in pure Node.js with no additional dependencies, keeping the setup minimal and the invocation straightforward.

It is a good fit for developers who frequently embed images, package front-end assets, or exchange file content within data pipelines, and who prefer to finish encoding or decoding right inside the conversation rather than juggling separate CLI commands or external tools.
