# convert-vapid-public-key
[](https://github.com/screendriver/convert-vapid-public-key/actions)
To subscribe to [Web Push Notifications](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/push-notifications/) you have to provide an Base64 application server key that needs to be converted to an [Uint8Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array). This package helps you with the conversion from a Base64 string to an `Uint8Array`.
## Installation 🏗
```sh
$ npm install --save convert-vapid-public-key
```
or if you use [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) 🐈
```sh
$ yarn add convert-vapid-public-key
```
## Usage 🔨
```ts
import convertVapidKey from "convert-vapid-public-key";
async function subscribe() {
const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.register("service-worker.js");
const subscribeOptions = {
userVisibleOnly: true,
applicationServerKey: convertVapidKey(""),
};
const pushSubscription = await registration.pushManager.subscribe(subscribeOptions);
// ...
}
```
