    }
}
Vue
App.vue
  
<script>
import { base64_encode } from 'devextreme/data/utils';

export default {
    mounted() {
        this.base64str = base64_encode("test");
    },
    // ...
}
</script>
React
App.js
// ...
import { base64_encode } from 'devextreme/data/utils';

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.base64str = base64_encode("test");

import { keyConverters } from "devextreme/data/odata/utils"
Type:

Object

The following code shows how to register a custom type converter:

jQuery
JavaScript
DevExpress.data.utils.odata.keyConverters["MyType"] = function (value) {
    return value + "MT";
};
Angular
TypeScript
import { keyConverters } from "devextreme/data/odata/utils";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        keyConverters["MyType"] = value => {
            return value + "MT"
        }
    }
}
Vue
App.vue
  
<script>
import { keyConverters } from 'devextreme/data/odata/utils';

export default {
    mounted() {
        keyConverters['MyType'] = value => {
            return value + 'MT';
        }
    },
    // ...
}
</script>
React
App.js
// ...
import { keyConverters } from 'devextreme/data/odata/utils';

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        keyConverters['MyType'] = value => {
