This question has been asked before on this forum but I could not find a satisfactory solution to the problem. Hence the question again. I am trying to download and store a file from the internet into the local file system on my phone. I am getting the following error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: LocalFileSystem is not defined
The code I have so far is:
function storeFile(bucketName, csvfile){
var region;
s3Client.getBucketLocation(params = {Bucket: bucketName},function(err,data){
if(err) console.log("Error :: Cannot retrieve bucket location", err);
else {
console.log(data);
region = data;
}
});
var url = "http://s3-"+region+".amazonaws.com/"+bucketName+"/"+csvfile;
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT,0,
function(fs){
filePath = fs.root.fullPath + "/" + csvfile;
fileTransfer = new FileTransfer();
fileTransfer.download(url, filePath,
function (entry) {
console.log(entry.fullPath); // entry is fileEntry object
},
function (error) {
console.log("Some error");
});
}, function(err){
console.log("Request File System failure");
});
}
Do I need to add any plugins into my app? I already have the File and FileTransfer plugins added. By the way this function is called after onDeviceReady is fired.
EDITED: I am not working with AngularJs. My code is on NodeJs. Secondly, I have no dependencies like the ionic framework etc. which could possibly present a problem. This same code has been tested on other data which have been successfully downloaded and stored. The problem has occurred after I changed the code to download from a specific location on the amazon server. If someone could address this problem for me, it would be great. I am able to access the bucket and the region through code. The only problem is the LocalFileSystem.
