expo file system

[razankiwan2]

I want to use expo file system to download a file from my server. can any one help me ?

FileSystem.downloadAsync(
  'http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4',
  FileSystem.documentDirectory + 'small.mp4'
)
  .then(({ uri }) => {
    console.log('Finished downloading to ', uri);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

I have used this code , it show me the url but where to find this file after download?

The downloaded file will be saved to FileSystem.documentDirectory + 'small.mp4' so to access it later you will need to have a reference to this file path, which would be something like: file://Containers/Data/Application/55651607-FE3D-4AA1-8106-1AA7AC8BEBBD/Documents/small.mp4.

A few options:

1. Use AsyncStorage to save a reference to read back later.
2. Use Redux / Redux persist (also with AsyncStorage) to hold the reference

You will need to read the files from that created directory as well, so:

const files = await FileSystem.readDirectoryAsync(<YOUR_FILE_DIRECTORY>);
