How can I generate content for a file in server code and then create a file in the Files collection with that content?

[Al Hooton]

I have server code written that generates content for a small file into a variable. I don't want to send this as a file to the client, rather, I want to create a file in the Files collection with this content. All the examples I'm finding for working with the Files collection assume this is being driven from the client, but I want to do it from server code.

Hi Al -

Sorry for the delay, we need to clarify this issue with our developers.
We'll update when we get more information.

You can use server code XHR and Upload files service to do what you want.

Please read documentation about uploading files:

http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...

To understand how work with XHR see the following code:

pre
var requestBody = {

"status": "sent",

"payload": {
"message": "Hello World",
},

"filter": {
"deviceID": deviceID
}
};

var request = {

"headers": {

Code: Select all

 "X-Appery-Push-API-Key": pushApiKey, 
 "Content-Type": "application/json" 

},

"body": JSON.stringify(requestBody)

};

var XHRResponse = XHR.send("POST", "https://api.appery.io/rest/push/msg", request);
/pre
