blob-util [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nolanlawson/blob-util.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/nolanlawson/blob-util) [![TypeScript](https://img.shields.io/badge/%3C%2F%3E-typescript-blue.svg)](http://www.typescriptlang.org/)
=====

`blob-util` is a [Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=DOM%2FBlob) library for busy people.

It offers a small set of cross-browser utilities for translating Blobs to and from different formats:

* `<img/>` tags
* base 64 strings
* binary strings
* ArrayBuffers
* data URLs
* canvas

It's also a good pairing with the attachment API in [PouchDB](http://pouchdb.com).

**Note**: this is a browser library. For Node.js, see [Buffers](http://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html).

Install
------

Via npm:

```bash
npm install blob-util
```

ES modules are supported:

```js
import { canvasToBlob } from 'blob-util'
canvasToBlob(canvas, 'image/png').then(/* ... */)
```

Or as a script tag:

```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/blob-util/dist/blob-util.min.js"></script>
```

Then it's available as a global `blobUtil` object:

```js
blobUtil.canvasToBlob(canvas, 'image/png').then(/* ... */)
```

Browser support
-----

As of v2.0.0, a built-in `Promise` polyfill is no longer provided. Assuming you provide a `Promise`
polyfill, the supported browsers are:

* Firefox
* Chrome
* Edge
* IE 10+
* Safari 6+
* iOS 6+
* Android 4+
* Any browser with either `Blob` or the older `BlobBuilder`; see [caniuse](http://caniuse.com/#search=blob) for details.

Tutorial
--------

Blobs (<strong>b</strong>inary <strong>l</strong>arge <strong>ob</strong>jects) are the modern way of working with binary data in the browser. The browser support is [very good](http://caniuse.com/#search=blob).

Once you have a Blob, you can make it available offline by storing it in [IndexedDB](http://www.w3.org/TR/IndexedDB/), [PouchDB](http://pouchdb.com/), [LocalForage](https://mozilla.github.io/localForage/), or other in-browser databases. So it's the perfect format for working with offline images, sound, and video.

A [File](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File) is also a Blob. So if you have an `<input type="file">` in your page, you can let your users upload any file and then work with it as a Blob.

### Example

Here's Kirby. He's a famous little Blob.

<img id="kirby" alt="Kirby" src="./test/kirby.gif"/>

So let's fulfill his destiny, and convert him to a real `Blob` object.

```js
var img = document.getElementById('kirby');

blobUtil.imgSrcToBlob(img.src).then(function (blob) {
  // ladies and gents, we have a blob
}).catch(function (err) {
  // image failed to load
});
```

(Don't worry, this won't download the image twice, because browsers are smart.)

Now that we have a `Blob`, we can convert it to a URL and use that as the source for another `<img/>` tag:

```js
var blobURL = blobUtil.createObjectURL(blob);

var newImg = document.createElement('img');
newImg.src = blobURL;

document.body.appendChild(newImg);
```

So now we have two Kirbys - one with a normal URL, and the other with a blob URL. You can try this out yourself in the [blob-util playground](http://nolanlawson.github.io/blob-util). Super fun!

Example:

```js
var myUrl = blobUtil.createObjectURL(blob);
```

Convert an image's `src` URL to a `Blob` by loading the image and painting it to a `canvas`.

Note: this will coerce the image to the desired content type, and it will only paint the first frame of an animated GIF.

Examples:

```js
blobUtil.imgSrcToBlob('http://mysite.com/img.png').then(function (blob) {
  // success
}).catch(function (err) {
  // error
});
```
```js
blobUtil.imgSrcToBlob('http://some-other-site.com/img.jpg', 'image/jpeg',
                         'Anonymous', 1.0).then(function (blob) {
  // success
}).catch(function (err) {
  // error
});
```

**Parameters:**

| Param | Type | Description |
| ------ | ------ | ------ |
| src | `string` |  image src |
| `Optional` type | `string` |  the content type (optional, defaults to 'image/png') |

| `Optional` quality | `number` |  a number between 0 and 1 indicating image quality if the requested type is 'image/jpeg' or 'image/webp' |

**Returns:** `Promise`<`Blob`>
Promise that resolves with the `Blob`

Examples:

```js
blobUtil.imgSrcToDataURL('http://mysite.com/img.png').then(function (dataURL) {
  // success
}).catch(function (err) {
  // error
});
```
```js
blobUtil.imgSrcToDataURL('http://some-other-site.com/img.jpg', 'image/jpeg',
                         'Anonymous', 1.0).then(function (dataURL) {
