ImagePickerWeb Output is File$ instead of File - flutter

Question

I am using ImagePickerWeb to allow users to upload photos from my app
Future<void> getPhotos() async {
var imageFile = await ImagePickerWeb.getImage(outputType: ImageType.file);
print(imageFile);
if (imageFile != null) {
setState(() {
currentSelfie = imageFile;
_accDetails['customer_selfie'] = currentSelfie;
});
}
When I try to display the image via Image.File
Image.file(
currentSelfie,
height: screenAwareSize(100, context),
width: screenAwareSize(100, context),
fit: BoxFit.fill,
),
I get this error
File$ ([object File]) :<getObject: NoSuchMethodError: The
getter 'uri' was called on null.>
I am using the file format for my because I am passing the image to my back end server and it receives the data as a file. Any help would be appreciated.

You can copy paste run full code below
According to owner's description https://github.com/Ahmadre/image_picker_web#how-do-i-get-all-informations-out-of-my-imagevideo-eg-image-and-file-in-one-run
You can use ImagePickerWeb.getImageInfo and show image with Image.memory
code snippet
Future<void> getPhotos() async {
var mediaData = await ImagePickerWeb.getImageInfo;
String mimeType = mime(Path.basename(mediaData.fileName));
html.File mediaFile =
new html.File(mediaData.data, mediaData.fileName, {'type': mimeType});
print("imageFile ${mediaData.toString()}");
if (mediaData != null) {
currentSelfie = mediaData.data;
setState(() {});
}
}
...
currentSelfie == null
? Container()
: Image.memory(
(currentSelfie),
fit: BoxFit.fill,
),
