Encode and decode an atom into a Base64 encoded atom in URL-Safe mode​

This scenario demonstrates how to encode and decode a plain atom into a Base64-encoded atom using the base64url/2 predicate.

Here are the steps of the scenario:

  • Given the query:
consult('/v1/lib/base64.pl'),
base64url('<<???>>', Encoded),
base64url(Decoded, 'PDw_Pz8-Pg').
  • When the query is run
  • Then the answer we get is:
height: 42
gas_used: 15694
answer:
  has_more: false
  variables: ["Encoded", "Decoded"]
  results:
  - substitutions:
    - variable: Encoded
      expression: "'PDw_Pz8-Pg'"
    - variable: Decoded
      expression: "<<???>>"
