new File() gives me undefined File in javascript nodejs

I am trying to open a local file and create a File object from an image file using the following code

var newFileObj = new File([buffer],fileObj.originalname,{type: fileObj.mimetype});

However this gives me File is undefined. I am using nodejs v7.0.0

Do i need to require any file before for using File type?

P.S- This is a REST API , there is no html involved.

You need to use 'fs' for read/write file in node world. Here is the link

https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

fs.open('myfile', 'r', (err, fd) => {
  if (err) {
    if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
      console.error('myfile does not exist');
      return;
    }

    throw err;
  }

  readMyData(fd);
});
