Files

The method creates a temporary file.

You can temporarily upload a file to the system to use it in an app or a process. If the file is not used in 60 minutes, it will be automatically deleted. In the example you can see how to create a file using its content stored as a byte array. The context stores the newName field (the name that will be assigned to the file).

const fileData:  ArrayBuffer;
// ... 
const newTmpFile = await System.files.createTemporary( Context.data.newName, fileData); 

The method is used to search for files on the disk.

You can use this method to:

• Apply filters to files based on different parameters.
• Search for and get a specific or the first item found in the query.
• Sort search results.
• Limit the number of search results or see search results on several pages. Example:

  const position =  await System.files.search().where(f => f.__id.eq('<some id>')).first();
