Converting Hex to Base64 in My Next.js Project ๐Ÿ”„

While implementing ๐—–๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ง๐—–๐—›๐—” in my ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜.๐—ท๐˜€ and ๐—ง๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜ project, I faced an intriguing challenge. The random image generated for the ๐—–๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ง๐—–๐—›๐—” was in ๐—›๐—ฒ๐˜… format, but I needed it in ๐—•๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ to display it correctly.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Why Convert to ๐—•๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ?
๐—•๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ encoding is essential for embedding images directly into HTML or CSS, which simplifies loading and reduces the number of HTTP requests.

๐Ÿ” Here's how I tackled the conversion:
Hex to ๐—•๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ Conversion:
I started with a ๐—›๐—ฒ๐˜… string representing my image data.
Then, I converted it to a byte array and finally encoded it to ๐—•๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ.

By solving this problem, I not only enhanced the functionality of my ๐—–๐—”๐—ฃ๐—ง๐—–๐—›๐—” but also deepened my understanding of data formats and conversions. ๐Ÿ’ก

If you're working with image data in web development, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with these conversions!
