fs.readFileSync is not a function Meteor, React

问题:

I'm getting a 'fs.readFileSync is not a function' in Chrome debugger after trying to call readFileSync();

I call it...

const fs = require('fs');

call the function...

let content = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/my/file.stuff');

And attempt to display content..

console.log(content);

I get nothing. When I do...

console.log(fs);

I appear to get a generic javascript object... I'm completely stuck.

Meteor version: 1.5.1 npm version: 3.10.10 node version: v6.10.1

Thanks for all the answers!

I have confirmed that you cannot use fs on the client side.

Instead, I made another local simple express node api and the react web app just makes a request back to the node api to get that data.

Also, you have to do this...

fs will not work in the browser. This is by design as to protect your filesystem from potential security threats.

Using low level Node packages in a browser environment

If you need access to this in a browser environment, consider making use of Electron which allows you to make use of OS level NodeJS packages in a running instance of Chromium.

fs cannot be used on the client, due to browsers restricting some javascript code.

If your code is being run on both the server and client, you can use:

if (Meteor.isClient) return;

to avoid the error. Otherwise, there should be another way to do what you're trying to accomplish, such as importing required JSON.
