react-native-img-to-base64

This repo is a working rewrite of this abandonned library.
It provides a very simple way to convert an image to a base64 string.

If you encounter OOM errors on old android devices, make sure you optimize the image's size before you convert it.
Indeed working with big images on Android might cause very high memory usage.

Getting started

npm install react-native-image-base64 --save
or
yarn add react-native-image-base64

Installation

$ react-native link react-native-image-base64

Usage

``javascript
import ImgToBase64 from 'react-native-image-base64';

ImgToBase64.getBase64String('file://youfileurl', (err, base64string) => doSomethingWith(base64string));
``
