    Possible bug
    Add a null check for the nonce variable before encoding it to base64

    To ensure that the nonce is properly encoded as a base64 string, it's recommended to
    check if the nonce is not null or undefined before converting it. This prevents
    potential runtime errors if nonce is null.

    packages/wallet/src/mintbase-wallet.ts [220]

    -newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce).toString('base64'));
    +if (nonce) {
    +  newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce).toString('base64'));
    +}
     
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 9

    Why: Adding a null check for the nonce variable before encoding it to base64 is a good practice to prevent potential runtime errors. This suggestion addresses a possible bug and improves the robustness of the code.

    9
    Robustness
    Implement error handling for the base64 encoding process

    Consider using a try-catch block around the base64 encoding process to handle any
    exceptions that might occur during the conversion, ensuring the application's
    stability.

    packages/wallet/src/mintbase-wallet.ts [220]

    -newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce).toString('base64'));
    +try {
    +  newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce).toString('base64'));
    +} catch (error) {
    +  console.error('Failed to encode nonce:', error);
    +}
     
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    Why: Using a try-catch block around the base64 encoding process enhances the application's stability by handling any exceptions that might occur. This is a valuable improvement for robustness.

    8
    Maintainability
    Refactor base64 encoding into a reusable utility function

    To improve code maintainability, consider creating a utility function for encoding
    values to base64, which can be reused wherever base64 encoding is needed.

    packages/wallet/src/mintbase-wallet.ts [220]

    -newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce).toString('base64'));
    +newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', encodeToBase64(nonce));
     
    +function encodeToBase64(value) {
    +  return Buffer.from(value).toString('base64');
    +}
    +
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    Why: Creating a utility function for base64 encoding improves code maintainability and reusability. This is a good practice for cleaner and more maintainable code, though not critical.

    7
    Best practice
    Specify the character encoding when converting a string to a Buffer for base64 encoding

    Ensure consistent encoding by explicitly specifying the character encoding of the
    input string to Buffer.from, as the default encoding might vary.

    packages/wallet/src/mintbase-wallet.ts [220]

    -newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce).toString('base64'));
    +newUrl.searchParams.set('nonce', Buffer.from(nonce, 'utf-8').toString('base64'));
     
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

    Why: Explicitly specifying the character encoding ensures consistent behavior across different environments. This is a best practice that enhances code reliability, though the impact is relatively minor.
