If the file path looks like file:///.... You can just simple put it to Firebase function, don't need readFile step.
My code works properly up to now:
static uploadProfileAvatar(userID, fileURI) { // file URI is a path of a local image
const updateTime = moment().unix();
const storagePath = `${PROFILE_AVATAR_PATH}/${userID}_${updateTime}.jpg`;
const fileMetaData = { contentType: 'image/jpeg' };
return FirebaseStorage.uploadFile(fileURI, storagePath, fileMetaData);
}
static uploadFile(fileURI, storagePath, fileMetaData = null) {
const uploadTask = firebase.storage().ref().child(storagePath).put(fileURI, fileMetaData);
return uploadTask;
}
If you have the path like rct-image-store://0. You have to write it to and then get the local path image.
ImageStore.getBase64ForTag(
rctFileURI, // rct-image-store: path
(base64Image) => {
const imagePath = `${RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath}/${new Date().getTime()}.jpg`;
RNFS.writeFile(imagePath, `${base64Image}`, 'base64')
.then((success) => {
// now your file path is imagePath (which is a real path)
if (success) {
// upload with imagePath, same as the 1
}
})
.catch(() => {});
},
() => {},
);
