This is my function
export async function uploadFile(file, type) {
try {
if (!file !file.assets !file.assets[0]) {
throw new Error('Invalid file object provided');
}
const {mimeType, ...rest} = file; // Extract necessary properties.
const asset = {mimeType, ...rest}
// Logging for debugging purposes
console.log("Asset:", asset);
console.log("Type:", type);
// Assuming appwriteConfig is imported from somewhere
const uploadedFile = await storage.createFile(
appwriteConfig.storageId,
ID.unique(),
asset
);
// Logging for debugging purposes
console.log("Uploaded File:", uploadedFile);
// Assuming getFilePreview is defined elsewhere
const fileUrl = await getFilePreview(uploadedFile.$id, type);
return fileUrl;
} catch (error) {
// Rethrowing error with additional context
throw new Error(`File upload failed: ${error.message}`);
}
}
// Get File Preview
export async function getFilePreview(fileId, type) {
let fileUrl;
try {
if (type === "video") {
fileUrl = storage.getFileView(appwriteConfig.storageId, fileId);
} else if (type === "image") {
fileUrl = storage.getFilePreview(
appwriteConfig.storageId,
fileId, 2000, 2000, "top", 100
);
} else {
throw new Error("Invalid file type");
}
if (!fileUrl) throw Error;
return fileUrl;
} catch (error) {
throw new Error(error);
}
}
Summary
Developers are unable to upload a file in a React Native mobile app using Expo Go. The issue stems from incorrectly handling the file object in the upload function. Ensure the file object is properly validated and the necessary properties are extracted before uploading. Also, verify that the file preview function handles different file types correctly.
