New Moralis.file(..) not setting correctly?

Moralis General
#1

I am following this guide https://github.com/DanielMoralisSamples/19_MINTNFT/blob/master/app/static/js/logic.js and the docs https://github.com/DanielMoralisSamples/19_MINTNFT/blob/master/app/static/js/logic.js

When using:

const nft = new Moralis.File(file.name, file);
console.log('nft', nft);

The nft is returning:

Is that correct? Because when I then use:

await nft.saveIPFS();
 const imageURI = nft.ipfs();

I get Property 'ipfs' does not exist on type 'File'.ts(2339)

it may be a different method now, you can do also a console log for nft after nft.saveIPFS() to see how it looks

#3

Here is the log

    const file = new Moralis.File(data.name, data)
    await file.saveIPFS();

    console.log(file)

you can see there _ipfs that has the link that you want

#5

But the type checking in TS fails, so cant compile. Managed to get around it with:

    const file = new Moralis.File(data.name, data);
    await file.saveIPFS();

    // Save file reference to Moralis
    const jobApplication = new Moralis.Object('NFTs');
    jobApplication.set('name', this.nftForm.value.name);
    jobApplication.set('description', this.nftForm.value.description);
    jobApplication.set('file', file);
    await jobApplication.save();

    // Retrieve file
    const query = new Moralis.Query('NFTs');
    query.equalTo('name', this.nftForm.value.name);
    query.find().then(function ([application]) {
      const ipfs = application.get('file').ipfs();
      const hash = application.get('file').hash();
      console.log('IPFS url', ipfs);
      console.log('IPFS hash', hash);
    });

I’m not sure checking that much early would give desired result when you are still in “saving” sequence, better to use .then(… syntax right behind the save().

#7

no he use await
so the response should be exist… anyway I have checked…
it was the devs type declaration error, they didn’t define the function on File type declaration

Just ignore the type script error, the function is there

const file = new Moralis.File(data.name, data);
await file.saveIPFS();

// @ts-ignore 
console.log(file.ipfs());
