how to upload a temp file into Google Drive?
To upload a temporary file to Google Drive using Pipedream, you can follow these steps. This example assumes you have a file stored in the /tmp directory of your Pipedream workflow environment. We’ll use the Google Drive API to upload the file, authenticating with OAuth credentials linked to your Google app on Pipedream. First, ensure you have connected your Google account to Pipedream and have the necessary permissions to upload files to Google Drive. Here’s a basic example of how you could structure your Pipedream component to upload a file from the /tmp directory to Google Drive: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; import fs from "fs"; import FormData from "form-data"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: "app", app: "google", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const filePath = '/tmp/yourfile.txt'; // Replace 'yourfile.txt' with your actual file name const formData = new FormData(); formData.append('file', fs.createReadStream(filePath)); formData.append('name', 'Uploaded File'); // The name of the file in Google Drive const headers = { ...formData.getHeaders(), Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }; const config = { method: "POST", url: "https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart", headers, data: formData, }; return await axios($, config); }, }); This code does the following: 1. Imports necessary modules and defines the component with a Google app prop for authentication. 2. Reads the file from the /tmp directory. 3. Creates a FormData object and appends the file and its name. 4. Sets up the request headers, including the authorization header with the OAuth access token from the connected Google account. 5. Configures the request to use the Google Drive API’s multipart upload endpoint. 6. Sends the request using the axios function provided by Pipedream. Make sure to replace 'yourfile.txt' with the name of your actual file in the /tmp directory. This example provides a basic framework. Depending on your specific requirements, you might need to adjust the API endpoint, parameters, or headers. Always refer to the [Google Drive API documentation
