loadImageViaBlob

loadImageViaBlob(urlOrResource, request) → Promise.<Image>|undefined
Core/loadImageViaBlob.js 51

Asynchronously loads the given image URL by first downloading it as a blob using XMLHttpRequest and then loading the image from the buffer via a blob URL. This allows access to more information that is not accessible via normal Image-based downloading, such as the size of the response. This function returns a promise that will resolve to an Image once loaded, or reject if the image failed to load. The returned image will have a "blob" property with the Blob itself. If the browser does not support an XMLHttpRequests with a responseType of 'blob', or if the provided URI is a data URI, this function is equivalent to calling loadImage, and the extra blob property will not be present.
Name Type Description
urlOrResource Resource | String The source URL of the image.
request Request optional The request object. Intended for internal use only.
Returns:
a promise that will resolve to the requested data when loaded. Returns undefined if request.throttle is true and the request does not have high enough priority.
Deprecated: true
Example:
// load a single image asynchronously
Cesium.loadImageViaBlob('some/image/url.png').then(function(image) {
    var blob = image.blob;
    // use the loaded image or XHR
}).otherwise(function(error) {
    // an error occurred
});

// load several images in parallel
when.all([loadImageViaBlob('image1.png'), loadImageViaBlob('image2.png')]).then(function(images) {
    // images is an array containing all the loaded images
});
