AlbumFile

Represents a file within a Switch.Album content store, which is either a screenshot (JPEG image) or a screen recording (MP4 movie).

It is a subclass of File, so you can use familiar features like name, lastModified and arrayBuffer(). It also has additional metadata like applicationId to determine which application generated the contents.

Example

const ctx = screen.getContext('2d');
const buf = await file.arrayBuffer();
const img = await createImageBitmap(new Blob([buf]));
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
