React-native-fs: Not able read an image file

[Sumanthjois]

I am trying to read an image file using the URI using react-native-fs and redux-saga: file:///Users/sumanthjois/Library/Developer/CoreSimulato…D57-919576574436/Documents/images/BA3C395C-B5FE-43C3-BC99-E2FDE2E3AA57.jpg

Below is the line where I am getting an error while trying to read the image file:

const imageFile = yield call([RNFS, RNFS.readFile], logo.uri);
Below is the error I am getting:

Error: Invalid UTF-8 detected

Try setting encoding to "base64".

Affirmitive! :) ... Encoded image data can be later on displayed in react-native like this:

<Image source={{uri: `data:image/png;base64,${encodedData}`}} />
