Error in the browser when trying to seed an array of strings

[vasco3]

What version of WebTorrent?
^0.102.1

What operating system and Node.js version?
n/A

What browser and version? (if using WebTorrent in the browser)
Chrome 68

What did you expect to happen?

Expected to be able to seed a stringified JSON blob.

    const { recipes } = this.props;
    const recipesSerialized = JSON.stringify(recipes);

    const client = new WebTorrent();

    client.seed([recipesSerialized], function seedTorrent({ magnetURI }) {
      console.log('Client is seeding ' + magnetURI);

      QRCode.toDataURL(magnetURI)
        .then(url => {
          this.setState({ exportDialogIsOpen: true, qrCodeDataUrl: url });
        })
        .catch(err => {
          // TODO show snackbar
          console.error(err);
        });
    });

What actually happened?

Received an error
Uncaught Error: filesystem paths do not work in the browser

Try this

    const { recipes } = this.props;
    const recipesSerialized = JSON.stringify(recipes);
    const recipesBuffer = Buffer.from(recipesSerialized);

    const client = new WebTorrent();

    client.seed(recipesBuffer, function seedTorrent({ magnetURI }) {
      console.log('Client is seeding ' + magnetURI);

      QRCode.toDataURL(magnetURI)
        .then(url => {
          this.setState({ exportDialogIsOpen: true, qrCodeDataUrl: url });
        })
        .catch(err => {
          // TODO show snackbar
          console.error(err);
        });
    });

see here for details on client.seed()

You're passing an array of strings, and it interprets strings as filesystem paths.

works perfectly, thank you!
