💻 Code

When targetting ES2024, the following code throws a type error:

const toBlob = (data: Uint8Array, type: string) => { 
  return new Blob([data.buffer], { type });
}

🙁 Actual behavior

Type 'ArrayBufferLike' is not assignable to type 'BlobPart'.
  Type 'SharedArrayBuffer' is not assignable to type 'BlobPart'.
    Type 'SharedArrayBuffer' is missing the following properties from type 'ArrayBuffer': resizable, resize, detached, transfer, transferToFixedLength

🙂 Expected behavior

Backwards compatibility with ES2023

The TS 5.7 release notes and #59417 explain what's going on here. If you want a Uint8Array whose buffer property is a suitable BlobPart you'll have to ask for it explicitly like

const toBlob = (data: Uint8Array<ArrayBuffer>, type: string) => { 
  return new Blob([data.buffer], { type });
}
