Api v2 for filesGetThumbnail gives t.buffer not a function error
Hi, when i try to get thumbnail for any file inside my folder i have the same error for different types os files (svg, png, ...) import { Dropbox } from 'dropbox'; let dbx = new Dropbox...
If import the DropboxSDK library like script import on my html works fine ;)
my solution:
index.html ( add dropbox-sdk manually)
<script src="assets/js/dropbox-sdk.js"></script>
On page where can use dropbox (index.ts)
declare var Dropbox: any; var dbx = new Dropbox.Dropbox({ accessToken: 'MY-KEY' }); dbx.filesListFolder({path: '/my-folder-name'}) .then(function(response) { dbx.filesGetThumbnail({ path: response.entries[0].path_display, format: 'png', size: 'w128h128' }) .then(function(response) { var img = document.createElement('img'); img.src=window.URL.createObjectURL(response.fileBlob); document.getElementById('results').appendChild(img); }) .catch(function(error) { console.log(error); }); }); }

Dropbox StaffThanks! Those are probably relevant then. Can you try including the Dropbox library as a JavaScript library instead of a Node dependency?

dbx.filesGetThumbnail({ path: response.entries[0].path_display, format: 'png', size: 'w128h128' })
.then(function(response) {
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src=window.URL.createObjectURL(response.fileBlob);
document.getElementById('results').appendChild(img);
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
});
}
- Greg-DBThe original `t.buffer is not a function` issue should be fixed in the latest version of the library, currently v4.0.3.
