Blob

A blob asset containing raw binary data.

Fields

size

The size of the blob data in bytes.

type DrawBlob = {
    myBlob: Blob?,
}

function init(self: DrawBlob, context: Context): boolean
    self.myBlob = context:blob('myBlob')

    if self.myBlob then
        print('Blob size:', self.myBlob.size, 'bytes')
    end

    return true
end

return function(): Node<DrawBlob>
    return {
        myBlob = nil,
        init = init,
    }
end

name

The name of the blob asset.

type DrawBlob = {
    myBlob: Blob?,
}

function init(self: DrawBlob, context: Context): boolean
    self.myBlob = context:blob('myBlob')

    if self.myBlob then
        print('Blob name:', self.myBlob.name)
    end

    return true
end

return function(): Node<DrawBlob>
    return {
        myBlob = nil,
        init = init,
    }
end

data

The raw binary data as a buffer. Read it with the buffer library, for example buffer.readu8(blob.data, 0).

type DrawBlob = {
    myBlob: Blob?,
}

function init(self: DrawBlob, context: Context): boolean
    self.myBlob = context:blob('myBlob')

    if self.myBlob then
        print('First byte:', buffer.readu8(self.myBlob.data, 0))
    end

    return true
end

return function(): Node<DrawBlob>
    return {
        myBlob = nil,
        init = init,
    }
end
