toBase64

Instance method on Uint8Array.prototype.

Converts the Uint8Array to a base64-encoded string.

toBase64(input: { uint8Array: <receiver>; options?: { alphabet?: "base64" | "base64url" | undefined; omitPadding?: boolean | undefined; }; prompt?: string }): Promise<string>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native Uint8Array.prototype.toBase64 and returns a resolved Promise without contacting the LLM. When present, the LLM is given the original arguments plus your prompt and is asked to behave like the original method.

import { configureClient, neuro } from 'neuro-ts';
configureClient({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
// Uint8Array toBase64; the official encoder, no btoa hat-tricks.
await neuro.uint8Array.toBase64({ uint8Array: view, prompt: 'encode the Uint8Array as a base64 string, with options.alphabet picking standard or url-safe, the official encoder we used to handcraft with btoa+TextDecoder' });

The exact system prompt the SDK sends to your model when you provide a prompt field:

Generated promptUint8Array.prototype.toBase64
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Uint8Array.prototype.toBase64`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: (options?: { alphabet?: "base64" | "base64url" | undefined; omitPadding?: boolean | undefined; }) => string
## JSDoc
Converts the `Uint8Array` to a base64-encoded string.

## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `toBase64` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.
