How do you use this for your own webex bot ?

[sharikav]

I want the user to be able to enter a file and write some code to process it, is that possible?

Hey @sharikav

For sure-- just use the <@fileupload> keyword on the handler

See this repo for a complex example using spreadsheets (*.xlsx) & fallback for other file types: https://github.com/valgaze/speedybot-superpowers

But for something simple, ex

import { BotHandler, BotInst, Trigger, $ } from "speedybot";
const handlers: BotHandler[] = [
  {
    keyword: "<@fileupload>",
    async handler(bot, trigger) {
      const $bot = $(bot);
      // take 1st file uploaded, note this is just a URL which requires auth to retrieve
      const [file] = trigger.message.files;

      const filePayload = await $bot.getFile(file, {
        responseType: "arraybuffer",
      });

      const { data, extension, fileName, type, markdownSnippet } = filePayload;

	  // Do something w/ data here
	  // data: raw file data if relevant
	  // extension: the file's extension
	  // filename: the file's name on harddisk (however uploaded)
	  // type: the file's media type from content header, ex "image/jpeg"
    },
    helpText: `Special handler that's fired when the user uploads a file to your bot (by default supports json/csv/txt.) If you use the word "convert", it will convert a spreadsheet (.xlsx) file to an html preview`,
  },
];

export default handlers;

I'm not hard to find-- hit me up if any trouble
