A LazyBlob is a replacement for the Blob class that allows to lazy read files in order to preserve memory.
It is a drop-in replacement for the Blob class, so you can use it as a Blob.
The main difference is the instantiation, which is done asynchronously using the LazyBlob.create method.
Install from NPM: npm install lazyblob
import { LazyBlob } from "lazyblob";
const lazyBlob = await LazyBlob.create("package.json");
await fetch("https://aschen.tech", { method: "POST", body: lazyBlob });slice(start = 0, end = this.size): LazyBlob
Returns a new instance of LazyBlob that is a slice of the current one. The slice is inclusive of the start and exclusive of the end. The slice method does not supports negative start/end.
arrayBuffer(): Promise<ArrayBuffer>
Read the part of the file delimited by the LazyBlob and returns it as an ArrayBuffer.
text(): Promise<string>
Read the part of the file delimited by the LazyBlob and returns it as a string.
stream(): ReadableStream
Returns a stream around the part of the file delimited by the LazyBlob.
