Create image message from file

Construct an image message from a local image file on the device filesystem:

const message = await OpenIMSDK.createImageMessageFromFullPath(imagePath);

Parameters

Supply imagePath as the absolute local filesystem path to the image file.

Return value

A resolved Promise returns the initialized MessageItem object with image details populated in pictureElem.

This method builds the message structure strictly in client memory; it does not dispatch messages to the server or trigger lifecycle events. After initialization, invoke Send message to deliver it to a conversation; the SDK automatically uploads the local image and generates thumbnail snapshots during transmission.
