react-native-image-base64
This repo is a working rewrite of this abandoned library.
It provides a very simple way to convert an image to a base64 string.
If you encounter OOM
errors on old android devices, make sure you optimize the image's size before you convert it.
Indeed working with big images on Android might cause very high memory usage.
Getting started
npm install react-native-image-base64 --save
or
yarn add react-native-image-base64
Installation
$ react-native link react-native-image-base64
Usage
import ImgToBase64 from 'react-native-image-base64';
ImgToBase64.getBase64String('file://youfileurl')
.then(base64String => doSomethingWith(base64String))
.catch(err => doSomethingWith(err));
