Within my NestJs application, I have a file being returned from a controller endpoint with the following structure:
const file = {
fieldname: "file",
originalname: "filename.png",
encoding: "7bit",
mimetype: "image/jpeg",
buffer: BufferObject,
size: 2751
}
To extract data from this file, I utilize the function below:
public async fileOperation(file: File): Promise<OperationResult> {
const uploadedData = file.buffer.toString();
...
Unfortunately, this code is generating an error during compilation:
TS2339: Property buffer does not exist on type FileWhat steps have you taken and what were your expectations?
My aim is to perform operations on an uploaded file without using any.
The current functional version of the code includes the use of any:
public async fileOperation(file: any): Promise<OperationResult> {
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call,@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access,@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-assignment
const uploadedData = file.buffer.toString();
...
I am hoping to find a solution with a specific type definition for the uploaded file.
