Saving Base64 format

Excellent library!!!

Two quick questions.

1. Is there a way to save a Base64 image in a string variable as a resized image?
2. are there available option(s) to read an image file (.jpg) and overriding it by saving a resized version of it in the same directory path?

Thank you!

1. You can just use Buffer#toString and pass base64:

const resizedImageBuf = await require('sharp')(pathToMyImage)
  .resize(32, 32)
  .toBuffer();

console.log(`data:image/png;base64,${resizedImageBuf.toString('base64')}`);
// data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS...

(you need to match the Content-Type with the type of the resulting image, of course)
