Reading Blobs

[morille]

It would be great to have either the (old) FileReader API or the new Promise based Blob methods "text", "arrayBuffer" and "stream".

Note: Fixing this is required for JsZip to work in deno.
(Potentially it will work OOTB with this.)

API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob

agree, tho duplicate of #2303. I am currently looking into implementing these methods.

[brianleroux]

This would fix the browser builds for the aws-sdk in Deno also.

[crowlKats]

@brianleroux this was already solved. This issue should be closed

[brianleroux]

where was it solved?

[crowlKats]

FileReader API isnt implemented, but the text, arrayBuffer & stream blob methods are.

[brianleroux]

Yeah, didn't think so, but I should've been more specific. The browser builds of the aws-sdk require FileReader (and SubtleCrypto / window.cryptoAPI) so there's some gaps left to fill before closing if web compat is truly a goal.

[crowlKats]

SubtleCrypto is indeed a wanted feature, just it's a decent amount of work to implement (#1891). Since this issue was made for the ability to read blobs with either of the two ways - and the goal has been reached - it should be closed. Best thing would be opening a new, more specific issue about FileReader.

[brianleroux]

sure. I don't want to make a bunch of noise opening fresh issues but knock yourself out.

[morille]

Indeed this issue is resolved, thanks.

[hayd]

@brianleroux can you create an issue for aws-sdk issue you faced? I thought, when I'd tried to use it previously, the issue was with missing XML apis.

(It would be amazing if aws-sdk worked ootb...)

[brianleroux]

since its resolved whats the point ;)

[brianleroux]

sorry I couldn't resist. this community, like most new communities, needs to work on its manners. or some new individuals do anyhow.
