The Blob()
constructor returns a new Blob
object. The content of the blob consists of the concatenation of the values given in the parameter array.
var aBlob = new Blob( array[, options]);
Array
of ArrayBuffer
, ArrayBufferView
, Blob
, DOMString
objects, or a mix of any of such objects, that will be put inside the Blob
. DOMStrings are encoded as UTF-8.BlobPropertyBag
dictionary which may specify the following two attributes: type
, with a default value of ""
, that represents the MIME type of the content of the array that will be put in the blob.endings
, with a default value of "transparent"
, that specifies how strings containing the line ending character \n
are to be written out. It is one of the two values: "native"
, meaning that line ending characters are changed to match host OS filesystem convention, or "transparent",
meaning that endings are stored in the blob without change.
var aFileParts = ['<a id="a"><b id="b">hey!</b></a>']; // an array consisting of a single DOMString var oMyBlob = new Blob(aFileParts, {type : 'text/html'}); // the blob

or undefined
, leads to an error instead of being handled as an empty dictionary.
