Cordova is an important framework that facilitates developers to build cross-platform or hybrid mobile applications even with a web tech stack. While working with Cordova, it is quite challenging to deal with file handling as the file uploaded will be either in the form of File_URI or file’s Data_Url. In this guide, we will be learning how to convert URI to File Object in Cordova in order to store or save permanently by converting the File_Uri to file Object.

Understanding File URI and File Object
Let’s clarify a few terms before we get into the real coding process.

File URI: URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier. In simple terms, it represents the local location of a file. Working with Cordova, file URIs are usually used for referencing the location of the file being uploaded in the device’s file system, for eg. files obtained from the camera or the file picker.
File Object: With reference to Cordova, a File Object is a file as an object that provides essential methods for interacting with the file, such as reading its content or obtaining its metadata.
