base64 encoded output

[lbohnsac]

Just realised that we need a proper mimetype for the output ... therefor we need a file mimetype detection too

[ashcrow]

@lbohnsac in terms of output do you mean on encoding files within the Ignition configuration or encoding the literal output of the file for a use case?

[lbohnsac]

Something like this but with a command line switch like -64:

diff filetranspile filetranspile.base64
13d12
< import base64
179,181d177
<         file_contents_bytes = file_contents.encode('utf-8')
<         file_contents_base64 = base64.b64encode(file_contents_bytes)
<         file_contents = file_contents_base64.decode('utf-8')
187c183
<                 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,{}'.format(file_contents)
---
>                 'source': 'data:,{}'.format(quote(file_contents))
228,231d223
<         file_contents_bytes = file_contents.encode('utf-8')
<         file_contents_base64 = base64.b64encode(file_contents_bytes)
<         file_contents = file_contents_base64.decode('utf-8')
<

<                 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,{}'.format(file_contents)
---
>                 'source': 'data:,{}'.format(quote(file_contents))

I have only limited python skills ...

[ashcrow]

Ah I see. Sure I'll take a stab at it!

[lbohnsac]

The advantage is the possibility to drop binaries in the ignition file too

[lbohnsac]

two thumbs up! ;)

In the PR we are discussing doing a slightly different pattern. PTAL.
