getFilePreview returns ByteCode
I'm running this code:
TypeScript
blah = await storage.getFilePreview(
import.meta.env.NEWS_IMAGES_ID,
news.imageId,
0, // width (optional)
0, // height (optional)
ImageGravity.Center, // gravity (optional)
0, // quality (optional)
0, // borderWidth (optional)
'fff', // borderColor (optional)
0, // borderRadius (optional)
0, // opacity (optional)
-360, // rotation (optional)
'fff', // background (optional)
ImageFormat.Jpg, // output (optional)
)
console.log('we have img: ', blah)
And I get ArrayBuffer { [Uint8Contents]: <ff d8 ff e0 00 10 4a 46 49 46 00 01 01 01 00 48 00 48 00 00 ff db 00 43 00 03 02 02 02 02 02 03 02 02 02 03 03 03 03 04 06 04 04 04 04 04 08 06 06 05 06 09 08 0a 0a 09 08 09 09 0a 0c 0f 0c 0a 0b 0e 0b 09 09 0d 11 0d 0e 0f 10 10 11 10 0a 0c 12 13 12 10 13 0f 10 10 10 ff db 00 43 01 03 03 03 04 03 04 ... 66367 more bytes>, byteLength: 66467 }
The docs seem to indicate I should have a image url
TL;DR
Developers are confused about the outcome of `getFilePreview` as it should return an image URL but instead, it returns Binary Data. The resolved solution is to convert the Binary Data to a Base64 encoded URL as an image preview link. 
what docs are you referring to?
It says: console.log(result.href);
I guess every image in a bucket has a standard url:
TypeScript
`https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/storage/buckets/${import.meta.env.NEWS_IMAGES_ID}/files/${news.imageId}/view?project=${import.meta.env.PUBLIC_APPWRITE_PROJECT}`
