Hello! i am trying to create a service

Hello! i am trying to create a service where i can load files and create index ... does anyone know how to load the file directly to loader/PDFReader instead of the path

the code below isnt working

Plain Text
@app.post("/add-sources/")
async def create_file(file: UploadFile):
    print(file.filename)
    loader = SimpleDirectoryReader("")
    print("Processing PDF files...")
    source_doc = loader.load_data(file=file)
    return {"file_size": file.filename}

loader = SimpleDirectoryReader(input_files=['file1_path','file2_path'])
You can temp store the file in a temp folder
once done , it removes it by itself
hmmm nice idea... so basically
when i make the api call with file as a payload
  1. create a directory
  2. copy the file in that directory
  3. load the file in PDF Reader or whatever it s
Yeah right,
If you dont want to do this you can also read the content of the file and create a document object by yourself.
document = Document(text=YOUR_FILE_TEXT)
Also no need to make directory in the first approach, just create the file and pass on the file path here: loader = SimpleDirectoryReader(input_files=['file1_path','file2_path']).load_data()
this is a problem... we cant send the local path from frontend to backend ..so i was sending the Fileitself πŸ™‚
Once you store the file temp, file path is created for that temp file. you can use that
yeah thats what my approach will be... trying it out... thanks much!
