Can you show me how to save a file to the tmp directory after receiving it in the form of a link from a webhook trigger?
To save a file to the /tmp directory after receiving it as a link from a webhook trigger, you can use the following example code in a Pipedream workflow. This example uses the got library to download the file and fs to save it to the /tmp directory: import stream from "stream"; import { promisify } from "util"; import fs from "fs"; import got from "got"; const pipeline = promisify(stream.pipeline); export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const fileUrl = steps.trigger.event.body.fileUrl; // Replace with the actual key from your webhook payload const fileName = "downloaded_file"; // You can dynamically set this based on the file URL or other data await pipeline( got.stream(fileUrl), fs.createWriteStream(`/tmp/${fileName}`) ); return `File saved to /tmp/${fileName}`; } }); ### Explanation: 1. Import Required Modules: The code imports necessary modules like stream, util, fs, and got. 2. Promisify the Pipeline: It uses promisify to convert the stream pipeline into a promise-based function. 3. Download and Save the File: The pipeline function streams the file from the URL provided in the webhook payload and saves it to the /tmp directory. 4. Return Confirmation: After saving the file, the function returns a confirmation message with the file path. Make sure to replace steps.trigger.event.body.fileUrl with the actual path to the file URL in your webhook payload. Adjust the fileName variable as needed to match the desired file name.
resolved, thank you.
