serving an ebook to foliate-js from the server

[nyukuri]

Hello,
I tried various ways to get foliate-js open an ebook served from the server, together with the HTML/Javascript files. I couldn't get it running.
Can anyone help how I have to use foliate-js to open an ebook, not from user input but served from the server?
THANK YOU!

Most of the functions in the library and the demo expect a File or Blob object. To get a Blob from a URL, fetch() the URL and call Response.blob(). You can also do something much more complicated, which is writing your own class that implements the File/Blob object. Then you have complete freedom as to how the contents are loaded.

If you're only dealing with Zip-based formats (i.e. EPUB and CBZ), you need to implement the "loader" interface. In the demo it's done with zip.js' BlobReader. You can replace it with the HttpReader if you're loading from a URL.
