sha256_base64

API -

return function()
    local app = getApp();
    local state = app.getAppState();
    
    --encryption and base64 shortcut
    local sha256AndBase64 = app.sha256_base64('somestring');
    log(sha256AndBase64);
end

This is usually used with security issues and dealing with API stuff.

Example script for OBS websockets
