storage client library compatible with create-react-app

[daniel-odc]

Hello
many thanks for your great client libraries. The documentation is great and the code samples very clear.
My issue is that I am developping React applications using create-react-app and it seems that it is incompatible with some of your methods.

Example: I am using the uploadFile.js code sample, which creates the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: fs.createReadStream is not a function

I gather this is because these libraries are designed to work with node.js in the backend. Would it be possible to make them compatible with front-end React code?
Many thanks

Hi @daniel-odc thanks for the question. We get this question / request fairly regularly (ex: #1883). As you noted this library was originally written for Node and we currently don't support browser based usages.

Due to the frequency of this question and the large community of web developers we are actively investigating how we can bring support to the browser. No timelines have been established but it is definitely on our radar.

If you have a server side API written in Node I can offer a workaround for uploading a file by generating a signed URL on the server side, returning it to the client side, and using the HTTP lib of your choice to perform the upload.
