Description

This module contains `Text`-valued combinators for implementing the RFC 4648 specification of the Base64url encoding format. This includes strictly padded/unpadded and lenient decoding variants, as well as internal and external validation for canonicity.

# Encoding

encodeBase64 :: Text -> Base64 'UrlPadded Text #

Encode a `Text` value in Base64url with padding.

See: RFC-4648 section 5

### Examples:

    >>> encodeBase64 "<<?>>"
    "PDw_Pj4="

encodeBase64Unpadded :: Text -> Base64 'UrlUnpadded Text #

Encode a `Text` value in Base64url without padding. Note that for Base64url, padding is optional. If you call this function, you will simply be encoding as Base64url and stripping padding chars from the output.

See: RFC-4648 section 3.2

### Examples:

    >>> encodeBase64Unpadded "<<?>>"
    "PDw_Pj4"

# Decoding

decodeBase64 :: forall (k :: Alphabet). UrlAlphabet k => Base64 k Text -> Text #

Decode an arbitrarily Base64url-encoded `Text` value.

For typed values: - If a padded value is required, use `decodeBase64Padded` - If an unpadded value is required, use `decodeBase64Unpadded`

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64 $ assertBase64 @'UrlPadded "PDw_Pj4="
    "<<?>>"

    >>> decodeBase64 $ assertBase64 @'UrlUnpadded "PDw_Pj4"
    "<<?>>"

decodeBase64Untyped :: Text -> Either Text Text #

Decode an untyped Base64url-encoded `Text` value. If its length is not a multiple of 4, then padding chars will be added to fill out the input to a multiple of 4 for safe decoding as base64url encodings are optionally padded.

For a decoder that fails on unpadded input, use `decodeBase64Unpadded`.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64Untyped "PDw_Pj4="
    Right "<<?>>"

    >>> decodeBase64Untyped "PDw_Pj4"
    Right "<<?>>"

    >>> decodeBase64Untyped "PDw-Pg="
    Left "Base64-encoded bytestring has invalid padding"

    >>> decodeBase64Untyped "PDw-Pg"
    Right "<<>>"

decodeBase64UntypedWith #

Arguments

:: (ByteString -> Either err Text) | convert a bytestring to text (e.g. `decodeUtf8'`)
-> ByteString | Input text to decode
-> Either (Base64Error err) Text |

Attempt to decode an untyped lazy `ByteString` value as Base64url, converting from `ByteString` to `Text` according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like `decodeUtf8'`, which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    decodeBase64With decodeUtf8'
      :: ByteString -> Either (Base64Error UnicodeException) Text

decodeBase64Unpadded :: Base64 'UrlUnpadded Text -> Text #

Decode an unpadded Base64url encoded `Text` value.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64Unpadded $ assertBase64 @'UrlUnpadded "PDw_Pj4"
    "<<?>>"

decodeBase64UnpaddedUntyped :: Text -> Either Text Text #

Decode an unpadded, untyped Base64url encoded `Text` value.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64UnpaddedUntyped "PDw_Pj4"
    Right "<<?>>"

    >>> decodeBase64UnpaddedUntyped "PDw_Pj4="
    Left "Base64-encoded bytestring has invalid padding"

decodeBase64UnpaddedUntypedWith #

Arguments

:: (ByteString -> Either err Text) | convert a bytestring to text (e.g. `decodeUtf8'`)
-> ByteString | Input text to decode
-> Either (Base64Error err) Text |

Attempt to decode an unpadded, untyped lazy `ByteString` value as Base64url, converting from `ByteString` to `Text` according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like `decodeUtf8'`, which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    decodeBase64UnpaddedUntypedWith decodeUtf8'
      :: ByteString -> Either (Base64Error UnicodeException) Text

decodeBase64Padded :: Base64 'UrlPadded Text -> Text #

Decode a padded Base64url encoded `Text` value

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64Padded $ assertBase64 @'UrlPadded "PDw_Pj4="
    "<<?>>"

decodeBase64PaddedUntyped :: Text -> Either Text Text #

Decode an untyped, padded Base64url encoded `Text` value

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64PaddedUntyped "PDw_Pj4="
    Right "<<?>>"

decodeBase64PaddedUntypedWith #

Arguments

:: (ByteString -> Either err Text) | convert a bytestring to text (e.g. `decodeUtf8'`)
-> ByteString | Input text to decode
-> Either (Base64Error err) Text |

Attempt to decode a padded, untyped lazy `ByteString` value as Base64url, converting from `ByteString` to `Text` according to some encoding function. In practice, This is something like `decodeUtf8'`, which may produce an error.

See: RFC-4648 section 4

### Example:

    decodeBase64PaddedWith decodeUtf8'
      :: ByteString -> Either (Base64Error UnicodeException) Text

decodeBase64Lenient :: Text -> Text #

Leniently decode an untyped Base64url-encoded `Text`. This function will not generate parse errors. If input data contains padding chars, then the input will be parsed up until the first pad character.

Note: This is not RFC 4648-compliant.

### Examples:

    >>> decodeBase64Lenient "PDw_Pj4="
    "<<?>>"

    >>> decodeBase64Lenient "PDw_%%%$}Pj4"
    "<<?>>"

# Validation

isBase64Url :: Text -> Bool #

Tell whether an untyped `Text` value is Base64url-encoded

### Examples:

    >>> isBase64Url "PDw_Pj4="
    True

    >>> isBase64Url "PDw_Pj4"
    True

    >>> isBase64Url "PDw_Pj"
    False

isValidBase64Url :: Text -> Bool #

Tell whether an untyped `Text` value is a valid Base64url format.

This will not tell you whether or not this is a correct Base64url representation, only that it conforms to the correct shape. To check whether it is a true Base64 encoded `Text` value, use `isBase64Url`.

### Examples:

    >>> isValidBase64Url "PDw_Pj4="
    True

    >>> isValidBase64Url "PDw_Pj"
    True

    >>> isValidBase64Url "%"
    False
