Can't resolve 'fs' about node-aescrypt HOT 5 CLOSED

Ah. That makes sense. This is a Node.js library, not a browser library. It has utilities for reading files off the filesystem which we couldn't do in the browser (unless we did some really cool ByteArray drag-n-drop stuff). You can attempt to use Node.js polyfills, but I don't know if that is going to be worthwhile.

Thanks for your response.
But i'm trying to decrypt an ebook within the app and it doesn't use browser as the encrypted file is already downloaded locally into the device data directory, which is suppose to decrypt it locally. Can you advice as to what to do to resolve this issue

Thanks

The major issue now is:
Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in 'C:\Users\USER\Downloads\foyeGab\node_modules\node-aescrypt\build\module\lib'
Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in 'C:\Users\USER\Downloads\foyeGab\src\app\home'

Unfortunately, Ionic (or more precisely Cordova) is not a Node.js runtime. It uses an abstraction to mount client-side code using web views. You can see some Native functionality (for example, file system access) through custom abstractions, but you still don't have all the Node.js libraries like fs and Buffer. You can certainly try to port the logic, but it is pretty tightly coupled to Node.js's buffer and stream system.
