In NetSuite how to decode a base64 string

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can decode a base64 string using the

N/encode

module in SuiteScript 2.x. This module provides methods for encoding and decoding base64 strings. However, it's important to note that this module is primarily designed for text strings and may not work as expected with binary data. Here is a simple example of how you can use the

N/encode

module to decode a base64 string:

javascript
var encodeModule = require('N/encode');
var base64String = 'your_base64_string_here';
var decodedString = encodeModule.base64Decode(base64String);

In SuiteScript 1.0, there's an undocumented

nlapiDecrypt()

function that can be used to decode base64 strings. However, this function is not officially documented and supported by NetSuite. If you're dealing with binary data, such as images encoded in base64, you might need to use a different approach. One option is to use a JavaScript library that can handle base64 decoding for binary data. You can import such a library into your SuiteScript code and use it to decode the base64 string. Please note that handling binary data in NetSuite can be challenging due to the platform's limitations. If you're dealing with complex use cases, such as asymmetric encryption, you might need to consider other solutions outside of SuiteScript. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
