Hi @MaximBelov ,

After the latest Pull request for refactoring is merged, I can't see the data field in ChooserResult.

Previously we were using the data field to get the data array as blob and post it as FormData to our Http endpoint. This doesn't work anymore. Can you please advise on how we use this from now on. Can the documentation be updated.

Thanks,
Priyanka

Hi
You can save file to the temp directory
https://github.com/MaximBelov/cordova-plugin-ffmpeg-lab/blob/master/src/app/home/home.page.ts#L167

then upload the file with cordova-plugin-advanced-http

https://github.com/MaximBelov/cordova-plugin-advanced-http-lab/blob/main/src/app/home/home.page.ts#L86

Hi @MaximBelov ,
I tried to refactor my code, but still having issues.

I included these in pacakge.json file
"@awesome-cordova-plugins/chooser": "^6.3.0"
"cordova-plugin-chooser": "^1.3.2",

In the code it shows me latest object/data types for ChooserResult, but when I do 'ionic build' and 'npx cap sync android' and run the app in phone, the debugger shows the old data types for ChooserResult. So when I'm accessing file.mimeType, it says mimeType is not defined and its not there in the ChooserResult object.

In the npm site it says it was last published 3 years ago.

Thanks,
Priyanka

Hi
@priyaa05

Version of cordova-plugin-chooser from npm is outdated.

Try fixed version from github

"cordova-plugin-chooser": "git+https://github.com/MaximBelov/cordova-plugin-chooser.git#1.4.0-custom",

Hi @MaximBelov ,

After I changed package.json to use this new version, I can see the new data types in the debug mode.

But we still need to get blob data , as we are using Form Data and we don't want to add another plugin for http which is advanced http just for uploading files.

I tried another method to get blob data using File.ReadAsArrayBuffer() from cordova-plugin-file, but this method doesn't resolve and it doesn't return the blob data.

If we can add backward compatibility and add just the fileData field which has blob data to Chooser plugin, that would be great. It would save us a lot of time.

Thanks,
Priyanka
