API programmatic : upload binary file like favicon.ico

[Geminii]

Hi codesandbox team and community :)

I'm trying to upload programmatically a local project into codesandbox.
I follow the documentation about it and trying this code :

{
  "files": {
    "static/favicon.ico": {
      "content": fs.readFileSync(file, 'binary') // i try Buffer.from(data, 'binary').toString('base64')
      "isBinary": true
    }
  }
}

Did i miss something about documentation. There is poor information about it :(
Thanks a lot for feedbacks ❤️❤️

No, only the CLI supports binary file creation like this right now. What's your use-case?

hi @garethx
Thanks for the answer. Ok i understand why it was impossible to upload my favicon into codesandbox.
It was at goal to initialize a default project with some basic static like favicon.ico or another picture.
In the documentation, what does that mean isBinary property so ?

Ah, I will document this but if isBinary is true, then content needs to be set to a URL. So in your case the URL could specify an external favicon to be used.

e.g.

{
  isBinary: true,
  content: 'https://...'
}

Ah ok. Don’t understand this in fact.
But i try to upload the favicon as base64 with isBinary parameter 😮 nice try lol
Thanks a lot for precision about it 😀
