Ionic5 IOSFilePicker convert uri to blob

I use this method:

getFiles(){
 this.filePicker.pickFile().then(uri => {
console.log('uri '+uri);
})
.catch(err => console.log('Error', err));
} 

And I want convert uri to blob because I need to upload it. I tried several methods that I found on the forums but none of them work.


Seeing as you have the path on the device (uri) you can use

cordova-plugin-file

to fetch the file and read its contents
