'Slack API upload string as file
I have a sting variable of a csv. I want to upload it to a slack channel as a .csv file, not as text.
async function run() {
const csvData = 'foo,bar,baz';
const url = 'https://slack.com/api/files.upload';
const res = await axios.post(url, {
channel: '#csvchannel',
filename: 'CSVTest.csv',
content: csvData
}, { headers: { authorization: `Bearer ${slackToken}` } });
console.log('Done', res.data);
}
This code returns: error: 'no_file_data', Changing content to file gives the same response.
What do I have to do to convert the csv sting into a file that can be uploaded? I can't use fs to write out the file.
I have tried to use fs.createReadStream(csvData) but that needs a file, not a string.
