multer VS react-native-image-picker

Some basic examples of popular packages in the Javascript community include Express (a framework for building server applications) and Multer (a middleware for handling file uploads). These packages, when integrated into your project, can significantly streamline your development process.

Here are the docs for multer

You could use multipart/form-data https://github.com/expressjs/multer

multer - Middleware for Express.js to handle file uploads

busboy is what many Express middleware's such as multer use under the hood.

Maybe multer or validate-image-type?

Multer has some functions used to determine what type of file(s) to expect from the API request. Here we have used the 'multer.single("file")' function to let multer know that we're expecting a single file. (The full multer documentation can be found here).

You need something that can parse formData stuff. Like multer https://github.com/expressjs/multer

Hi, I'm using the [react-native-image-picker](https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker) library to pick images from the gallery it works really fine.

I'm going to be getting images from the user (using react-native-image-picker) saving them in Firebase Cloud Storage.

Image Picker is a javascript library for react native that provides two methods one for taking image from camera and other from gallery. For using library first install react-native-image-picker in the project directory:

you can see the source code here.

here is the documentation for the library: https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker

It's simple Java and Objective-C code. Eq. https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker/blob/main/android/src/main/java/com/imagepicker/ImagePickerModule.java here is the roughly 200 lines` file. You can build it on your own, however, you need to remember that native code will be needed as you need to retrieve files from the device and it's unreachable from JS code. You need to consider all permissions, especially in iOS.

Agreed. Currently I'm using react-native-image-picker. However I can't mimic this exact behavior with it. So I'm bothered whether I have to develop native modules for this.
