Importing fs in react-native

Question

I'm trying to import TinyDB in an expo project but I need help with fs, because expo doen't allow fs as it is a third-party file system.

I try using react-native-fs but I don´t kow how to use it. Can someone help me?

This is my Code:

var TinyDB = require('tinydb');
var db = new TinyDB('../UserData.json');

Uninstall react-native-fs and use expo-file-system instead

And no, I want to use nodejs's file system – DragoNico10 Dec 20 '22 at 03:25
npm uninstall --save – Mahammad Momin Dec 20 '22 at 05:09
expo-file-system is Node's FS for expo. Take a look at the docs I linked – Abe Dec 20 '22 at 07:37
But then how do I use it? – DragoNico10 Dec 20 '22 at 17:32
TinyDB uses the FS like this: var fs = require('fs'); – DragoNico10 Dec 20 '22 at 17:35
You can either patch TinyDB to use expo-fs (look up patch-package), or use another DB that has built-in Expo support. – Abe Dec 21 '22 at 05:08
