react native t.buffer is not a function
See original GitHub issueHi,
I’m using this module in a react native environment. All seems to work well, except when I attempt to download a file with dbx.filesDownload - I get the following exception:
TypeError: t.buffer is not a function. (In 't.buffer()'; 't.buffer' is undefined)
My fix hack for this is to replace the one and only call to buffer() with text() in the dependency:
perl -pi -e 's/t\.buffer/t.text/' node_modules/dropbox/dist/Dropbox-sdk.min.js
Not sure what the “proper” fix for this is, but figured I’d let you know my workaround. Thanks.
