base64 image from flask to nativescript

I am sending a request to a flask server and expecting the server to respond with a base64 Image, I am trying to show this base64 encoding in nativescript app but failing.

server code

@app.route("/", methods=['POST', 'OPTIONS'])
def index():
    image = base64.b64decode(request.json.get('img'))
    image = np.array(Image.open(io.BytesIO(image)))
    print(image.shape)
    return base64.b64encode(image) # I know this returns the same image

client code, I am using nativescript-vue

ImageSourceModule.ImageSource.fromAsset(this.src)
  .then(src => src.toBase64String("jpg"))
  .then(base64 => {
    return axios.post(
      "http://192.168.1.8:5000/",
      { img: base64 },
      {
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }
      }
    );
  })
  .then(res => {
    let img = ImageSourceModule.ImageSource.fromBase64Sync(res.data); // also tried the async version
    this.converted = img;
  })
  .catch(e => console.log(e));

in the template

<Image :src="converted" ref="converted" margin="10" stretch="none" />

when I console log img it says null. any ideas?

Found the solution, the numpy array needs to be converted to PIL Image first then bytes then convert it to base64 string

input_image = base64.b64decode(request.json.get('img'))
input_array = np.array(Image.open(io.BytesIO(input_image)))
output_img = Image.fromarray(input_array, 'RGB')
buffer = io.BytesIO()
output_img.save(buffer, format="JPEG")
response = base64.b64encode(buffer.getvalue())
