Blob from DataURL?

Question

User Matt has proposed the following code a year ago ( How to convert dataURL to file object in javascript? ) which might help you

EDIT: As some commenters reported, BlobBuilder has been deprecated some time ago. This is the updated code:

function dataURItoBlob(dataURI) {
  // convert base64 to raw binary data held in a string
  // doesn't handle URLEncoded DataURIs - see SO answer #6850276 for code that does this
  var byteString = atob(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);

  // create a view into the buffer
  var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);

  // set the bytes of the buffer to the correct values
  for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++) {
      ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
  }

  // write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
  var blob = new Blob([ab], {type: mimeString});
  return blob;

}

Like @Adria method but with Fetch api and just smaller [caniuse?]
Don't have to think about mimetype since blob response type just works out of the box

...if you use that stuff

var url = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="

fetch(url)
.then(res => res.blob())
.then(blob => console.log(blob))

Don't think you could do it any smaller then this without using lib's

In modern browsers one can use the one liner suggested by Christian d'Heureuse in a comment:

const blob = await (await fetch(dataURI)).blob(); 

dataURItoBlob : function(dataURI, dataTYPE) {
        var binary = atob(dataURI.split(',')[1]), array = [];
        for(var i = 0; i < binary.length; i++) array.push(binary.charCodeAt(i));
        return new Blob([new Uint8Array(array)], {type: dataTYPE});
    }

input dataURI is Data URL and dataTYPE is the file type and then output blob object
