how can i upload a image to storage using a url
how can i achive uploading a file to storage, using a url?
i attach a photo of an example i want to do, is that possible and any hints on how to do it?
TL;DR
Developers are struggling to upload an image to storage using a URL, facing a TypeError related to the path argument. The solution involves using `InputFile.fromBuffer` instead of `InputFile.fromBlob`. This allows the developers to fetch the image, create a buffer, and then utilize the buffer to upload the image successfully. 
You cant
There is no possible way??? Tried to fetch it and parse the buffer to it but did not work sadly
You should be able to upload via a buffer
TypeScript
async function uploadImage(
imageUrl,
imageName,
bucketId = process.env.IMAGES_BUCKET_ID
) {
try {
const imageResponse = await fetch(imageUrl);
if (!imageResponse.ok) {
throw new Error("Failed to fetch image from URL");
}
const arrayBuffer = await imageResponse.arrayBuffer();
const buffer = Buffer.from(arrayBuffer);
const inputFile = sdk.InputFile.fromBuffer(buffer, imageName);
const result = await storage.createFile(bucketId, ID.unique(), inputFile);
return result;
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error uploading image:", error);
throw error;
}
}
Seems correct to me
TypeScript
Error uploading image: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type number (3798243238)
Ah nvm see the error imageName should be an string
What sdk are you using?
Appwrite
const sdk = require("node-appwrite");
Maybe you can use InputFile.fromBlob(await imageResponse.blob())
Btw there's a new version of the node sdk
I tried updating lately and had loads of errors... So I just went back to the old one
