How to get the URI of the actual image for upload ?

Hello gents!

I’m having issues understanding how to get the actual path of the files so I can upload them ? The array of images sent back from the picker is as follows:

data: {
    filename: "IMG_0005.JPG",
    height: 2002,
    isStored: true,
    playableDuration: 0,
    uri:"assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=ED7AC36B-A150-4C38-BB8C-B6D696F4F2ED&ext=JPG",
    width: 3000
}

I understand I need to use “data.filename” … but what’s the absolute path ? Where or how to get it from ? Thanks!

Ended up not using RNFetchBlob, but using Buffer instead.

This is what we currently use, in production:

import S3 from 'aws-sdk/clients/s3'
import { Buffer } from 'buffer'

export function uploadS3Base64Image (image, options) {
  const s3 = new S3({
    accessKeyId: s3options.accessKeyId,
    secretAccessKey: s3options.secretAccessKey,
    region: s3options.region
  })
  // get file name, if fileName is not exist, get fileName from filePath
  const fileName = image.filename || image.path.split('\\').pop().split('/').pop()
  // File structure helper
  const file = {
    name: `${uuid.v4()}-${fileName.toLowerCase()}`,
    type: image.mime
  }

  // Create buffer from base64 image
  let imageBuffer = Buffer.from(image.data.replace(/^data:image\/\w+;base64,/, ''), 'base64')

  // Create full file name
  let folderPath = _.compact(options.folderPath).join('/')
  let fileNameWithPath = `${folderPath}/${file.name}`

  // Upload params
  var params = {
    Bucket: s3options.bucket,
    Key: fileNameWithPath,
    Body: imageBuffer,
    'Content-Type': file.type,
    'Content-Length': imageBuffer.length,
    ACL: 'public-read'
  }

  // Setup progress handler, and then send the image
  s3.upload(params).on('httpUploadProgress', options.onProgress).send(options.onSendFinished)
}

Nevermind, fixed it 😃
