I am using media plugin to record audio, i can record and play the audio. But I am having issues uploading it to firebase storage. Seems like I have to convert the file.mp3 to base64 first. any help??

this is works for me:

  saveRecord() {

    console.dir(this.file.externalDataDirectory);
    //  save to firebase
    // var file = {name:`${this.currentUid}.mp3`};
    const fileName = {name: `${this.file.externalDataDirectory}/${this.currentUid}.mp3`};
    const metadata = {
      contentType: 'audio/mp3',
    };

    var blob = new Blob([fileName.name], {type: 'audio/mp3'}); // pass a useful mime type here
    const uploadAudio = this.usersStorageAboutRecordRef.child(`${this.currentUid}/${fileName.name}`)
    .put(blob, metadata);
    // Listen for state changes, errors, and completion of the upload.
    return uploadAudio.on(firebase.storage.TaskEvent.STATE_CHANGED, // or 'state_changed'
      (snapshot) => {
      }, (error) => {
        console.dir(error);
      }, () => {
        // Upload completed successfully, now we can get the download URL
        var downloadURL = uploadAudio.snapshot.downloadURL;
        console.dir(downloadURL);
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          resolve(downloadURL);
        });
      });

  }
