I am trying to upload a photo from my app to Facebook.

I have tried the following to get the image stream using Node JS for POC, which works fine.

let imageData = require('fs').createReadStream(path);

I want to achieve the same in my Ionic 3 app but the problem is that fs isn't available in Ionic. I have tried using the following functions of @ionic-native/file but those didn't help.

readAsText(path, file)
readAsDataURL(path, file)
readAsBinaryString(path, file)
readAsArrayBuffer(path, file)

What is the best way to get the createReadStream(path) functionality in Ionic 3?

What code are you using to send the picture to Facebook ? – e666 Oct 17 '17 at 15:55
FB.api(“me/photos”, “post”, {source: imageData}) – Kashif Nazar Oct 17 '17 at 16:17
Are you using plugin or web facebook api ? How do you get the path of your image data ? – e666 Oct 17 '17 at 17:21
That I am getting through ionic-native image picker. There is no problem with the path as I can display the images in my app. – Kashif Nazar Oct 17 '17 at 17:52
