Can't send Blob object about peerjs HOT 5 OPEN

you are sending the blob correctly. you just have to convert it back to a blob while recieving.

conn.on('data', data => {
  console.log('listenConn data', data);
  if (data.evenBinary instanceof ArrayBuffer) {
    const blob = new Blob([data.evenBinary], { type: 'text/html' });
    // Now you have a Blob object
  }
});

check if this snippet works

@catosaurusrex2003 This means peerjs will only transfer the bytes of the blob, but will ignore the type field, I need to handle the type field myself, right?

Background：This Blob object is a local file selected by the user, so I cannot sure the type of this file.

Hi @XhstormR,
the behavior you noticed is actually expected, but we see how our documentation might have confused you. We're sorry for that mix-up and we're working on making our docs better.

For now, we suggest looking at this example about transferring files with PeerJS. It should clear things up and show you how to handle the file transfer process. If you have more questions, just let us know; we're here to help.

@irgalamarr Thanks. As shown in the example, I need to handle the type field myself.
