A Blob implementation in Node.js, originally from [node-fetch](https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch).
## Installation
```sh
npm install fetch-blob
```
<details>
<summary>Upgrading from 2x to 3x</summary>
Updating from 2 to 3 should be a breeze since there is not many changes to the blob specification.
The major cause of a major release is coding standards.
- internal WeakMaps was replaced with private fields
- internal Buffer.from was replaced with TextEncoder/Decoder
- internal buffers was replaced with Uint8Arrays
- CommonJS was replaced with ESM
- The node stream returned by calling `blob.stream()` was replaced with whatwg streams
- (Read "Differences from other blobs" for more info.)
</details>

<summary>Differences from other Blobs</summary>
- Unlike NodeJS `buffer.Blob` (Added in: v15.7.0) and browser native Blob this polyfilled version can't be sent via PostMessage
- This blob version is more arbitrary, it can be constructed with blob parts that isn't a instance of itself
it has to look and behave as a blob to be accepted as a blob part.
- The benefit of this is that you can create other types of blobs that don't contain any internal data that has to be read in other ways, such as the `BlobDataItem` created in `from.js` that wraps a file path into a blob-like item and read lazily (nodejs plans to [implement this][fs-blobs] as well)
- The `blob.stream()` is the most noticeable differences. It returns a WHATWG stream now. to keep it as a node stream you would have to do:
```js
import {Readable} from 'stream'
const stream = Readable.from(blob.stream())
```
</details>
## Usage
```js
// Ways to import
// (PS it's dependency free ESM package so regular http-import from CDN works too)
import Blob from 'fetch-blob'
import File from 'fetch-blob/file.js'
import {Blob} from 'fetch-blob'
import {File} from 'fetch-blob/file.js'
const {Blob} = await import('fetch-blob')
// Ways to read the blob:
const blob = new Blob(['hello, world'])
await blob.text()
await blob.arrayBuffer()
for await (let chunk of blob.stream()) { ... }
blob.stream().getReader().read()
blob.stream().getReader({mode: 'byob'}).read(view)
```
### Blob part backed up by filesystem
`fetch-blob/from.js` comes packed with tools to convert any filepath into either a Blob or a File
It will not read the content into memory. It will only stat the file for last modified date and file size.
```js
// The default export is sync and use fs.stat to retrieve size & last modified as a blob
import blobFromSync from 'fetch-blob/from.js'
import {File, Blob, blobFrom, blobFromSync, fileFrom, fileFromSync} from 'fetch-blob/from.js'
const fsFile = fileFromSync('./2-GiB-file.bin', 'application/octet-stream')
const fsBlob = await blobFrom('./2-GiB-file.mp4')
// Not a 4 GiB memory snapshot, just holds references
// points to where data is located on the disk
const blob = new Blob([fsFile, fsBlob, 'memory', new Uint8Array(10)])
console.log(blob.size) // ~4 GiB
```
`blobFrom|blobFromSync|fileFrom|fileFromSync(path, [mimetype])`
### Creating Blobs backed up by other async sources
Our Blob & File class are more generic then any other polyfills in the way that it can accept any blob look-a-like item
An example of this is that our blob implementation can be constructed with parts coming from [BlobDataItem](https://github.com/node-fetch/fetch-blob/blob/8ef89adad40d255a3bbd55cf38b88597c1cd5480/from.js#L32) (aka a filepath) or from [buffer.Blob](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_new_buffer_blob_sources_options), It dose not have to implement all the methods - just enough that it can be read/understood by our Blob implementation. The minium requirements is that it has `Symbol.toStringTag`, `size`, `slice()` and either a `stream()` or a `arrayBuffer()` method. If you then wrap it in our Blob or File `new Blob([blobDataItem])` then you get all of the other methods that should be implemented in a blob or file
An example of this could be to create a file or blob like item coming from a remote HTTP request. Or from a DataBase
