  • Issue with FormData, fetch, and flask.
    1 project | /r/reactnative | 7 Feb 2023
    Hi, RN has many issues with sending multipart/form data. (example: memory leaks) I use https://github.com/joltup/rn-fetch-blob for sending formData requests, this sends a request in the native layer, not in js.

    I have found an issue here https://github.com/joltup/rn-fetch-blob/issues/212 , also, none of the provided solutions worked.
  • Readable stream in react native

  • React Native file download

    Most of the packages for react-native like that of react-native-fs, rn-fetch-blob and many more are stale for more than a year, and have many opened issues. So any other package or methods to download file for both iOS and Android.
  • File Copy/Move Progress
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 18 Apr 2021
    Doing this in RN though, I found https://github.com/kevinresol/react-native-fs-stream which won't work in the Expo managed workflow. https://github.com/joltup/rn-fetch-blob#user-content-file-stream also supports streams, but that also won't work in the Expo managed workflow. Both libraries are no longer maintained, so there's no guarantee they'll work these days.
  • How we used mux on our react native project to handle video uploads
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 9 Mar 2021
    Media upload is pretty straight forward in web, not so much in react native. Use rn-fetch-blob to upload media with react native, this was the only way I could make it work

    I don’t have an answer to your question, but I would recommend using this fork, since rn-blob-util is no longer maintained and has several serious issues that won’t be fixed: https://github.com/RonRadtke/react-native-blob-util
