import UIKit

extension String {
    
    var image: UIImage? { return UIImage(from: self) }
    
}

extension UIImage {
    
    convenience init?(from base64string: String) {
        guard let imageData = Data(base64Encoded: base64string, options:.ignoreUnknownCharacters) else {
            return nil
        }
        self.init(data: imageData)
