write file like image

[Moonrise1275]

Can i write image (like uploaded via )to my github repo with github.js?
If i can, how can i do this? Just pass File object instead of string?
If i can't, is there a plan to support it?

Anyway, thanks for your hard work.
Cheers.

I'm assuming this is possible since prose supports image uploads. But I would also like to see documentation on how to do this.

This is already possible using the library. I explain how to do that in this article. I think this issue can be closed, but I'll wait for a confirmation from other maintainers.

The workaround given by @AurelioDeRosa is breaking due to the unicode handling added in #203. It's really hard juggling dependencies between NodeJS-land and Browserville... 😅

I've thus added a "encode" property to the repo.write options array that, when set to false, assumes content will be base64-encoded elsewhere (e.g., in a FileReader or some such).

@AurelioDeRosa's article is really good and is still a good reference if trying to send images to GitHub, but please also see this spec, lines 27-42 and 362.

Closing as resolved. The "encode" property will be removed or depreciated next release as by then we'll have found a catch-all solution for handling base64 strings.

I have a problem, it says that repo.write(''BRANCH_NAME'',"FILE.txt","CONTENT","YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE") is not a function, can anybody help me with that problem?
