Saving Blob buffer as image using file-saver

I'm having trouble trying to save a JPG image file using file-saver. I have no problems using the same method when saving text files though.

I am pulling a Blob image from a MySQL database and trying to have it download for a user when they click on a button.

When I pull the image record (test.jpg) from the database this is the buffer I receive:

Blob {
buffer: <Buffer 64 61 74 61 3a 69 6d 61 67 65 2f 6a 70 65 67 3b 62 61 73 65 36 34 2c 2f 39 6a 2f 34 41 41 51 53 6b 5a 4a 52 67 41 42 41 51 41 41 53 41 42 49 41 41 44 ... 114553 more bytes>,
[Symbol(closed)]: false,
[Symbol(type)]: 'image/jpeg'
}

I then send this information to file-saver to save this as an image:

    console.log("is res real", res)
    console.log(res['buffer'].data)
    var file = new File([res['buffer'].data], "test.jpg", { type: "image/jpeg" });
    FileSaver.saveAs(file);

This is what's logged on the front end console. enter image description here

The image succesfully downloads, but when I try opening it I get a black screen with a message saying "It appears that we don't support this file format." which leads me to believe it is getting corrupted somehwere.

Any ideas?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
