Trying to use this in React project and "Blob" is not defined

[davidrhoderick]

Looks like there is a missing dependency "Blob". How do I remedy? I tried installing blob from npm and importing it but it didn't work.

ReferenceError: Blob is not defined

Are you using it in SSR? Blob is available globally in browsers but not available globally in node. This module probably isn't set up for SSR, currently.

You can use this workaround with Dynamic imports for SSR (tested with Next.js) until PR #38 is merged :slightly_smiling_face:

import('can-autoplay')
  .then(module => module.default.video())
  .then(({ result }) => {
    if (result === true) {
      // Can auto-play
    } else {
      // Can not auto-play
    }
  })
