Convert base64 string to image in react native

Question

Problem

I created a social media app with expo\'s react native, and wanted to add the ability to upload images. Since expo won\'t let you convert

You can do this:

var base64Icon = 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS...';
<Image style={{width: 50, height: 50}} source={{uri: base64Icon}}/>

In the base64Icon variable you need to put your base64 data after data:image/png;base64,. Like this:

var base64Icon = 'data:image/png;base64,{PLACE_YOUR_BASE64_DATA_HERE}';
