Hello fellow programmers,
I am trying to show an image using the UserAvatar
component in React-Native (Expo) but I am facing a problem where the link I am getting from the API is not working 404 Not Found
, what is the best possible way to avoid this problem. I tried to create a blob using the URL of the image but it was not successful
This is the error message i am getting in the app
Online fetched source is not a supported image at node_modules/react-native-user-avatar/src/helpers.js:41:6 in fetchImage
Here is one of the solutions i have tried:
urlToBlob = (url) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onerror = reject;
xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
if (xhr.readyState === 4) {
resolve(xhr.response);
}
};
xhr.open('GET', url);
xhr.responseType = 'blob'; // convert type
xhr.send();
})this.urlToBlob(data)
.then((blob) => {
console.log(blob);
});
CodePudding user response:
The approach that i took to solve this problem is very simple.
axios
.get(image_url)
.then((res) => {
if (res.status === 200) {
setImageStatus(200);
}
})
.catch((err) => {
setImageStatus(err.response.status);
});
}
When the response status is 200 then the image exists if not fallback to the default image.
