I am trying to send a yaml file as a base64 string so that this code works:
const response = await octokit.request('GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/blobs/{file_sha}', {
owner: 'DevEx',
repo: 'hpdev-content',
file_sha: fileSha,
headers: {
authorization: `Bearer ${githubConfig?.token}`,
},
});
const decoded = Buffer.from(response.data.content, 'base64').toString('utf8');
In the above code response.data.content should have the data.
I have this route:
router.get('/repos/:owner/:repo/git/blobs/:file_sha', (req, res) => {
// TODO: do we need to do anything with the path params?
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars
const { owner, repo, file_sha } = req.params;
const contents = writeUsersReport();
const encoded = Buffer.from(contents, 'binary').toString('base64');
res.send(encoded);
});
The code is working fine except that the client code expects the base64 string in a property called content in the following code:
const decoded = Buffer.from(response.data.content, 'base64').toString('utf8');
But the string is in response.data.
How can I set the content property instead?
How about sending a json response containing an object with a content property from your server side instead of the encoded string directly?
// ...
const encoded = Buffer.from(contents, 'binary').toString('base64');
res.json({content:encoded});
