Is it possible to write image files to a gist #1

Open blurymind opened 3 years ago

My goal is to be able to do it starting from an <input onChange=... event.

Is this possible? I know we can commit image files using the git cli interface

Sorry for the late reply.

This is an interesting use-case. Will have to explore more about how I can modify the current code to upload files of all extensions to github gist. I will update here when I have something.

Meanwhile, you can also look at Imgur for uploading your images.

Thing is I want to have my json files and images in one place and be able to have it private (secret gists) :) this is why imgur is not an option for me

vighnesh153 commented 3 years ago

Got it.

Just one thing, until I find a better way to upload images to a gist:

You can even convert the images to Data URL and then store the data urls in some file. Then, when you want to display the image, you can retrieve its data-url and use it.

oh I know about that, was just hoping I dont have to do it :)

There is a way to commit an image to a gist https://gist.github.com/remarkablemark/feff40b0a522f0c41c4eff0b77ea1d47 just not sure if we can do it with the REST api, which is what I need. My pwa doesnt have propper access to the file system (not on mobile at least)

I can write the files to cache and they have datauri if that helps
