TrueVault BLOB to file in node

Question

How do I convert/write BLOB objects returned from truevault to files in a nodejs server.

const data = (res.blob).toString('binary')
const buf = new Buffer(data)
fs.writeFileSync("out.js", buf)

When I run this I get [object Blob] in the out.js file.

Did you tried `fs.writeFileSync("out.js", buf.toString())` – Shubham Jain Oct 02 '18 at 11:49 — Shubham Jain, Oct 02 '18 at 11:49
Yes, still gives me [object Blob] in the out.js file. – Nowfal Oct 03 '18 at 05:03 — Nowfal, Oct 03 '18 at 05:03
Try `inspect` function from node's `util` library. – Shubham Jain Oct 03 '18 at 15:20 — Shubham Jain, Oct 03 '18 at 15:20

The TrueVault JS SDK doesn't currently support accessing blobs in that way from Node.js; the methods for reading the contents of blobs are intended for use in web applications. If you need to access the contents of blobs from your Node.js application, I recommend sending a feature request in their website.
