Where to store profile image after it is captured

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

I am using a cordova plugin to capture user’s profile picture. I want to store this in the app.

Here is the code that captures it:

 Camera.getPicture({
      quality : 75,
      destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
      sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
      allowEdit : true,
      encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
      targetWidth: 300,
      targetHeight: 300,
      saveToPhotoAlbum: false
    }).then(imageData => {
      this.base64Image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
     
    }, error => {
      console.log("ERROR -> " + JSON.stringify(error));
    });

Once the image is captured, I want to store it locally so that I can display it on the profile page. Any clue how I can do this ?

data URI is enough to display an image in a web browser https://css-tricks.com/data-uris/

If you really want to buffer the image in local FS, check this out https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file

And ionic native’s various storage services can be helpful too http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/native/native-storage/
