A base64 image is not stored properly in cloud storage for firebase (aka firebase storage)












0















I am uploading a base64 image to cloud storage for firebase (aka firebase storage), using the firebase web interface.



The code that I am using for uploading (in React Native) is the following:



const ref = await firebase.storage().ref(user).child(curTime.toString());
await ref.putString(base64String, 'base64', { contentType: 'image/jpeg' })


However, when I try to view the image it cannot be displayed.




  1. The uploaded string is available in my dropbox, here (download to view it).

  2. The file in firebase cloud storage is available here.

  3. I have downloaded this file into my dropbox, you can access it here (download to view it).


Here is the relevant code:



const uploadImageAsync = async(userId, curTime, photoUri) => {
const user = normalizeUserId(userId); // prepare for firebase write
let firebaseImageUrl = null;
let base64String;
try {
base64String = await FileSystem.readAsStringAsync(photoUri,
{ encoding: FileSystem.EncodingTypes.Base64 });
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
return null;
}

const ref = await firebase.storage().ref(user).child(curTime.toString());

await ref.putString(base64String, 'base64', { contentType: 'image/jpeg' })
.then(async(snapshot) => {
await snapshot.ref.getDownloadURL().then(uploadURL => {
firebaseImageUrl = uploadURL;
}, (error) => { // failed to get uploadedURL location
console.log(error);
return null;
});
}, (error) => { // failed to upload image to firebase storage);
console.log(error);
return null;
});

return firebaseImageUrl;
};

  • should firebase console show the base64 icons? i mean try to download the ref and render it on react-native in order to see if they are stored and the data is not malformed. If the could be downloaded from firebase and you can see it on react-native means that firebase console dont support base64 img vizualitation

  • Images can be displayed on the console, I am sure. I also tried displaying with the app, no luck.
