I was trying to decipher the documentation on this, anyone know how to get the file url? I am doing something like this and am getting the file.$id, but then when I try to get that json, it is empty. Do I need to create a new storage object or something?
// Upload the file to Appwrite Storage
const file = await storage.createFile(
config.appwriteFilesId, // Your Appwrite bucket ID
ID.unique(), // Use unique() for unique ID generation
inputFile // Upload the file buffer
);
console.log("File uploaded successfully. File ID:", file.$id);
// Get the URL of the uploaded file
const fileView = await storage.getFile(config.appwriteFilesId, file.$id);
Summary
Developers are having trouble getting the file URL from an Appwrite bucket with the file ID. The solution involves constructing the file URL manually from the metadata provided by Appwrite. Instead of relying on Appwrite to generate the file URL, developers can create it themselves using the endpoint and specific details from the metadata.
