How can I return a file from a BLOB column using NodeJS?

I'm using the oracledb library to handle the database operations and I have the following code:

async function getFile(req, res) {

   let filename = req.params.filename;
   let file = await selectFileFromDb(filename);
   file = file.rows[0][0]; //Column that contains the blob content

   //I would like to return something like this
   res.download(file);

}

What should I do to read the BLOB content from the column and return as a download to the requester?

Thank you.

You have to send content header as the type of file that you have to download and then send the buffer (asuming what you got from the db is a buffer ) in the body . Finally end the response after sending the code. Here is a sample code .

async function getFile(req, res) {

   let filename = req.params.filename;
   let file = await selectFileFromDb(filename);
   file = file.rows[0][0]; //Column that contains the blob content

   res.setHeader('Content-Length', file.length);
   res.write(file, 'binary');
   res.end();

}

HOW TO GET THE BLOB CONTENT AS A BUFFER

Do not forget to set the oracledb.fetchAsBuffer property:

const oracledb = require('oracledb');
oracledb.fetchAsBuffer = [oracledb.BLOB];
