import {buildClient,uploadLocalFileAndReturnPath,} from "@datocms/cma-client-node";async function run() {// Make sure the API token has access to the CMA, and is stored securelyconst client = buildClient({ apiToken: process.env.DATOCMS_API_TOKEN });const uploadId = 4124;// we can either update regular attributes:await client.uploads.update(uploadId, {author: "New author!",copyright: "New copyright",default_field_metadata: {en: {alt: "new default alt",title: "new default title",focal_point: {x: 0.3,y: 0.6,},custom_data: {},},},});// associate a new file with the existing upload object:await client.uploads.update(uploadId, {path: await uploadLocalFileAndReturnPath(client, "./image.jpg", {// if you want, you can specify a different base name for the uploaded filefilename: "different-image-name.png",}),});// or rename the uploaded file in the CDN (for SEO purposes):const updatedUpload = await client.uploads.update(uploadId, {basename: "this-will-be-the-new-file-basename",});console.log(updatedUpload);}run();
