Browser support

[strarsis]

Would it be possible to add UMD or whatever thing is needed for just using it in browser? This would be really helpful for protoyping.

@strarsis Please test this version: https://github.com/killmenot/parse-data-url/tree/browser-support and let me know how it works

@strarsis does it work as planned? Have you had a chance to test it?

Thanks for the follow up.
I tried it standalone in a codepen, but the function cannot be found, see this pen:

@strarsis parseDataUrl requires valid-data-url to work correctly. See here. If it's not defined it throws an error

However, even if I include valid-data-url in your pen still doesn't work as expected:

There are 2 problems:

1. data section must be URL encoded
2. parameters in media type should be correct per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397#section-3 . So instead of image/svg+xml;utf8, it should be image/svg+xml;charset=utf8 or image/svg+xml`

@killmenot: In the console, I can view an Object now.
The data attribute contains the data, but it is still encoded.
Can this library also decode the data, depending on what encoding/escaping was used.
