Read file from base64 string #5

Closed JuanMurciaN closed 1 year ago

JuanMurciaN commented 1 year ago

Description

Allow the package to use files already loaded to memory, for example in a base64 string, instead of only accepting file paths

Why

This would allow to process files that during the flow never are saved to disk, but instead are received and ready to be processed

Alternatives

An alternative is to save the file to then use the package to read it, but then this slows down the process and can overflow disk space for a high number of files if not handled properly

Hi there!

Sorry for the late reply :0

This is definitely a feature I want to add to the library, it'll make it much easier to use and add browser support both at once.

I'll take a crack at it sometime this week, or if you want to submit a PR that adds this, that would be epic :D
