React-Native: Convert image url to base64 string

Question

I\'m building a react native app that needs to store images at base64 string format for offline viewing capabilities.

What library / function would give me the best

Answer 1

I used another package: react-native-fs

import RNFS from 'react-native-fs';

var data = await RNFS.readFile( "file://path-to-file", 'base64').then(res => { return res });

This works fine.
