I want to save bytearray to a file in node js, for android I'm using the below code sample. Can any once suggest me the similar approach?
File file = new File(root, System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg");
if (file.exists())
file.delete();
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
fos.write(bytesarray);
fos.close();
return file;
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Use fs.writeFile to write string or byte array into a file.
- file
<String> | <Buffer> | <Integer>
filename or file descriptor
- data
<String> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array>
- options
<Object> | <String>
- encoding
<String> | <Null>
default = 'utf8'
- mode
<Integer>
default = 0o666
- flag
<String>
default = 'w'
- callback
<Function>
Asynchronously writes data to a file, replacing the file if it already exists. data can be a string or a buffer.
The encoding option is ignored if data is a buffer. It defaults to 'utf8'.
fs.writeFile('message.txt', 'Hello Node.js', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('It\'s saved!');
});
The answer by Leonenko cites/copies the correct JavaScript documentation, but it turns out that writeFile doesn't play nicely with a Uint8Array -- it simply writes the bytes out as numbers:
"84,104,101,32,102,105,114,115,..."
To get it to work, one has to wrap the Uint8Array in a Buffer:
fs.writeFile('testfile',new Buffer(ui8a),...)
