Base64 Decode String in jinja [duplicate]

Question

I'm new to using python and flask and really like it. I'm returning a query to be displayed in a jinja template and one of my columns being returned has base64 data. How do I decode that data and display it.

Answer 1

In jinja To work with Base64 encoded strings:

{{ encoded | b64decode }}
{{ decoded | b64encode }}

Answer 2

You can try to write custom filter

# add filter to jinja2 env
environment.filters['b64decode'] = base64.b64decode

# in template use
{{ value|b64decode }}
