Try these, they seem to work with all the examples from Stack Overflow

const asciiToBase64 = ascii => Buffer.from(ascii).toString('base64');
const base64ToAscii = b64 => Buffer.from(b64, 'base64').toString();

Yes, that works well but only in node environment. In javascript in the browser, Buffer is not accessible and thus you need to go with the atob or btoa solution (if you don't want some complex webpack that can simulate a buffer or any external buffer-ish libraries).
