How to replace the deprecated BlobBuilder with the new Blob constructor?

问题

Since Blobbuilder is deprecated and I have recently decided to use a new facial recognition API I am having a hard time switching over to just "blob".

function dataURItoBlob(dataURI, callback) {
        // convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
        // doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs

        var byteString;
        if (dataURI.split(',')[0].indexOf('base64') >= 0) {
            byteString = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
        } else {
            byteString = unescape(dataURI.split(',')[1]);
        }

        // separate out the mime component
        var mimeString = dataURI.split(',')[0].split(':')[1].split(';')[0];

        // write the bytes of the string to an ArrayBuffer
        var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
        var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
        for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
            ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
        }

        // write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
        var BlobBuilder = window.WebKitBlobBuilder || window.MozBlobBuilder;
        var bb = new BlobBuilder();
        bb.append(ab);
        return bb.getBlob(mimeString);
}

I tried switching it over to just:

        // write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
        var Blob = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
        var bb = new Blob();

        /*var link = document.createElement('link');
        link.rel = 'stylesheet';
        link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        document.body.appendChild(link);*/

        /*var BlobBuilder = window.WebKitBlobBuilder || window.MozBlobBuilder;
        var bb = new BlobBuilder();
        bb.append(ab);*/
        return bb.getBlob(mimeString);
}

But i keep getting Uncaught TypeError: Object #<URL> has no method 'getBlob' in the console. Not sure what I am missing. If i try to use bb.append(ab); I get Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Blob> has no method 'append' in the console.

Switching from BlobBuilder to Blob is quite straightforward. Try the following backwards-compatible code (the stuff in the catch block is your original code):

...
    try {
        return new Blob([ab], {type: mimeString});
    } catch (e) {
        // The BlobBuilder API has been deprecated in favour of Blob, but older
        // browsers don't know about the Blob constructor
        // IE10 also supports BlobBuilder, but since the `Blob` constructor
        //  also works, there's no need to add `MSBlobBuilder`.
        var BlobBuilder = window.WebKitBlobBuilder || window.MozBlobBuilder;
        var bb = new BlobBuilder();
        bb.append(ab);
        return bb.getBlob(mimeString);
    }
}

回答2:

Blob = (function() {
  var nativeBlob = Blob;

  // Add unprefixed slice() method.
  if (Blob.prototype.webkitSlice) {
    Blob.prototype.slice = Blob.prototype.webkitSlice;  
  }
  else if (Blob.prototype.mozSlice) {
    Blob.prototype.slice = Blob.prototype.mozSlice;  
  }

  // Temporarily replace Blob() constructor with one that checks support.
  return function(parts, properties) {
    try {
      // Restore native Blob() constructor, so this check is only evaluated once.
      Blob = nativeBlob;
      return new Blob(parts || [], properties || {});
    }
    catch (e) {
      // If construction fails provide one that uses BlobBuilder.
      Blob = function (parts, properties) {
        var bb = new (WebKitBlobBuilder || MozBlobBuilder), i;
        for (i in parts) {
          bb.append(parts[i]);
        }
        return bb.getBlob(properties && properties.type ? properties.type : undefined);
      };
    }        
  };
}());

Include this before you are going to use Blobs and you'll be able to use Blob constructors in browsers that only support the deprecated BlobBuilder.
