base64_decode_toguid

Decodes a base64 string to a GUID.

Syntax

base64_decode_toguid(value)

Parameters

Prop

Type

Given a dynamic field

This parameter is string-only. In permissive mode — the default — almost every field arrives as a dynamic, so passing one works because Berserk injects asstring: extract-or-null, the value when it really is a string and null otherwise, so the call yields null (a predicate yields false). A property bag or array is therefore not matched, and tostring() is never applied implicitly — use it explicitly to match a bag's JSON text, keys included. Strict mode rejects the dynamic instead of coercing it. See String coercion and the asXXX family.

Returns: guid

Examples

Example 1 — Decode a valid base64-encoded GUID

print base64_decode_toguid("3ie+dE4e2Um1ef4LMx02Qg==")
print_0 (guid)
74be27de-1e4e-49d9-b579-fe0b331d3642

Example 2 — Returns empty when the base64 input does not decode to exactly 16 bytes

print base64_decode_toguid("eHY0MTIzNA==")
print_0 (guid)
