How to upload a File object using the NodeJS SDK ? (Not Blob, Buffer...)
The docs point towards using one of the sdk methods InputFile.fromPath(), InputFile.fromBuffer() etc... in case you're on the server side.
But I want to upload directly a File object, I tried this but obviously it's not working because File is not an assignable parameter given the InputFile method.
TypeScript
const FILE = formData.get('dataModel');
if (FILE instanceof File) {
const promise = storage.createFile(BUCKET_ID, FILE_ID, FILE);
The file I am dealing with is a File object likes this one:
TypeScript
File {
size: 75621,
type: 'application/json',
name: 'xquad-ca_predictions.json',
lastModified: 1707319609241
}

TL;DR
Developers are trying to upload a File object using the NodeJS SDK in Appwrite. The documentation suggests using methods like `InputFile.fromPath()` or `InputFile.fromBuffer()`, but the developer wants to upload the File object directly. They tried passing the File object to the `createFile` method, but it didn't work because the File object is not an assignable parameter for the InputFile method.
Solution: Unfortunately, the NodeJS SDK does not currently support uploading File objects directly. You will need to convert the File object into a Blob or Buffer before uploading it using the SDK methods mentioned in the documentation.
