const Example = ({ data }) => <img src={`data:image/jpeg;base64,${data}`} />

ReactDOM.render(<Example data={data} />, document.getElementById('container'))

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<div id="container"></div>

If you just have an image URL, you can simply do:

const imageURL = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/React-icon.svg/1280px-React-icon.svg.png'

const Example = ({ imageURL }) =>  <img src={imageURL} width={100} />

ReactDOM.render(<Example imageURL={imageURL} />, document.getElementById('container'))

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
<div id="container"></div>

Did you make sure to add the encoding type in the src attribute along with the base64 encoded value?

render(){
    {this.state.image ? <img src={`data:image/png;base64,${this.state.image}`}/>: ''}
}

Try to use <img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,{base64imagestring}" />

You cannot use fs and writeFile in browser environment.

Instead, fetch the base64 which returns the blob. You append the blob to your formData.

Like this

const capture = useCallback(
    async () => {
      const imageSrc = webcamRef.current.getScreenshot();
      const blob = await fetch(imageSrc).then((res) => res.blob());
      const formData = new FormData();

      formData.append('images', blob)

      axios.post('http://localhost:5000/login', formData,{
          headers: {
              'content-type': 'multipart/form-data'
          },
          mode: 'no-cors'
        })
    },
    [webcamRef]
  )

See this

Also, the other option is to use Unit8Array and convert the base64 into blob

You can use a variable to store base64 data and export it.

// filename.js
const image = "data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaH....";

export default image;

// import
import image from 'filename';

You can do this:

var base64Icon = 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS...';
<Image style={{width: 50, height: 50}} source={{uri: base64Icon}}/>

In the base64Icon variable you need to put your base64 data after data:image/png;base64,. Like this:

var base64Icon = 'data:image/png;base64,{PLACE_YOUR_BASE64_DATA_HERE}';

You need to refactor PhotoComponent this way

const PhotoComponent = props => (
    props.photo ? <Card.Img
      src={`data:image/png;base64,${props.photo}`}
      alt={'photo'}
    /> : ''
);

export default PhotoComponent;

The ExampleComponent would need to just instance PhotoContainer

class ExampleComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
         <Container>
                <Card>
                    <PhotoContainer />
                    <Card.Body>
                         <p>Some text</p>
                    </Card.Body>
                </Card>
            </Container>
    );
  }
}

export default ExampleComponent;

You can leave PhotoContainer as is.

Hope this helps.

I managed to solve this by relatively short lines of code. I take the selectedFile from the state and then convert it to base64. I tested it with the separate button and I got base64 image in the console.

  const convertToBase64 = () => {
    const reader = new FileReader()

    reader.readAsDataURL(selectedFile)

    reader.onload = () => {
      console.log('called: ', reader)
      setBase64IMG(reader.result)
    }
  }
