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

create a directory
copy the file in that directory
load the file in PDF Reader or whatever it s

nnischalmdnvr

right ?

WWhiteFang_Jr

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 🙂

Once you store the file temp, file path is created for that temp file. you can use that
