Is it possible to add local files as attachments?

[Sapphire-May]

I'm using node.js. I've been trying this for hours and the files never show, even though urls do. I've tried a couple of different methods such as AttachmentBuilder, but this is the one I ended up on.

const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const fs = require('fs');

// https://gist.github.com/rigwild/6063278cbc9267e7691c084c67176114 inserted here

(async () => {

// Function to send a message with a local file
    async function sendMessageWithFile(channelOrThreadId, message, filePath) {
        const fileData = await fs.promises.readFile(filePath); // Read file data
        console.log(fileData)
        const sentMessage = await api.sendMessage(channelOrThreadId, '', false, body = {
            content: message,
            files: [
                {
                    attachment: fileData,
                    name: 'chosen.png' // Replace with the name of the file you want to send
                }
            ]
        });
        return sentMessage;
    }

// Usage example
    const channelId = ''; // Replace with the ID of the channel you want to send the message to
    const filePath = ''; // Replace with the path to the file you want to send
    sendMessageWithFile(channelId, 'Here is a local file:', filePath)
        .then(sentMessage => {
            console.log('Message sent:', sentMessage);
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.error('Error sending message:', error);
        });

})()

If you're getting error like use import on 'node-fetch' try with version 2.6.7 ;
• npm uninstall node-fetch
• npm i [email protected]

or you can also use with ES Module;
• import fetch from 'node-fetch';

I don't know how to do this, but i think you're on right path.

I tried like this but... i can't sent with my token, i get { message: '401: Unauthorized', code: 0 }. You can try with Bot Token.

// Node Modules
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const fs = require('fs');
const FormData = require('form-data')

// Usage
const channelOrThreadId = '1234567890987654321'; // Replace with the ID of the channel you want to send the message to
const imageFilePath = './filename.png'; // Replace with the path to the file you want to send
const token = 'ENTER_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' // Your Discord Token

// Function to send a message with a local file
async function sendMessageWithFile(channelOrThreadId, message, imageFilePath) {
    const fileStream = fs.createReadStream(imageFilePath); // Create a stream to read the file

    const formData = new FormData()
    formData.append('payload_json', JSON.stringify({
        content: message
    })); // Add JSON data to send your message
    formData.append('file', fileStream); // Add file to form data

    const response = await fetch(`https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/${channelOrThreadId}/messages`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            Authorization: `Bot ${token}`,
            ...formData.getHeaders() // Add header information of form data
        },
        body: formData // Use form data as body
    });

    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
}

// Sending
sendMessageWithFile(channelOrThreadId, 'Here is a local file:', imageFilePath)
    .then(sentMessage => {
        console.log('Message sent:', sentMessage);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error('Error sending message:', error);
    });
