Meower Uploads

Meower Uploads is a simple solution for file uploads and downloads--and api-client has support for uploading and downloading files with it. The uploads class is the thing used to interact with the Uploads API.

Downloading files

If you have an API Attachment, it's possible to get a file URL using the following code:

import { upload_types, uploads } from '@meower/api-client';

const meower_uploads = new uploads({
	base_url: 'https://uploads.meower.org',
	token: 'your.api.token',
});
import { upload_types, uploads } from '@meower/api-client';

const meower_uploads = new uploads({
	base_url: 'https://uploads.meower.org',
	token: 'your.api.token',
});

const api_attachment = {
	filename: 'cat.pdf',
	mime: 'application/pdf',
	size: 100,
	id: 'aaaaaaaa',
};

const url = meower_uploads.get_file_url(
	api_attachment,
	upload_types.attachment,
);

Using the file url, it's possible to download the file using the following code:

node

import { writeFile } from 'node:fs/promises';

const resp = await fetch(url);

const buffer = await resp.arrayBuffer();

const data = new Uint8Array(buffer);

await writeFile(api_attachment.filename, data);

bun

const resp = await fetch(url);

await Bun.write(api_attachment.filename, resp);

deno

const resp = await fetch(url);

const buffer = await resp.arrayBuffer();

const data = new Uint8Array(buffer);

await Deno.writeFile(api_attachment.filename, data);

browsers

const resp = await fetch(url);

const blob = await resp.blob();

const file_picker = await window.showSaveFilePicker();

const stream = await file_picker.createWritable();

await stream.write(blob);

await stream.close();

Uploading files

To be able to upload files to Meower, you first need to get your file in the form of either a Blob or a File. Once you have either of those, you can use the uploads.upload_file method to upload it.

import { upload_types, uploads } from '@meower/api-client';

const meower_uploads = new uploads({
	base_url: 'https://uploads.meower.org',
	token: 'your.api.token',
});

const blob = new Blob(['hi']);

const file = await meower_uploads.upload_file(blob, upload_types.attachment);

The resulting file is an API attachment, which you can use later if you want to add a file as an attachment, create a new emoji, or something else.
