react-native-compressor: [Error: width and height must be > 0] On image compression

Current behavior

When trying to compress an image from URI or base64 an error is thrown. [Error: width and height must be > 0]

Expected behavior

To be able to compress an image using base64 and throw a more elaborate error.

Platform

• Android
• iOS (Not tested)

Code

This will throw the error

try {
    const compressedSource = await compressFile(
        CompressFileType.IMAGE,
        'https://picsum.photos/500'
    );
    console.log(compressedSource);
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}

And this is where the compression is handled

import { Image, Video, Audio } from 'react-native-compressor';
import { CompressFileType } from '../../enums/CompressFileType';

const compressFile = async (fileType: CompressFileType, value: string) => {
  console.log('Compressing ' + fileType + ' with value ' + value);
  switch (fileType) {
    case CompressFileType.IMAGE:
      console.log('IMAGE');
      const imageResult = await Image.compress(value, {
        compressionMethod: 'auto',
        // input: 'base64',
        maxHeight: 50,
        maxWidth: 50,
      });
      return imageResult;
    case CompressFileType.VIDEO:
      console.log('VIDEO');
      const videoResult = await Video.compress(value, {
        compressionMethod: 'auto',
      });
      return videoResult;
    case CompressFileType.AUDIO:
      console.log('AUDIO');
      const audioResult = await Audio.compress(value, {
        quality: 'medium',
      });
      return audioResult;
    default:
      throw new Error(`Unknown file type '${fileType}'`);
  }
};

export { compressFile };
