How use the 'Write File' node?

[akordowski]

As I could not find any documentation, can any one provide an example how to use the 'Write File' node to write a file? How do I pass content to the file? Thank you in advance.

I would also love more info.
I've gotten it to work, in a very inconsistent fashion, by asking by bots to save all files to disk when writing code.
Doesn't always work thoguh.

One more that would like to know how to use the Write File and Read File tools. It's pretty concerning that the documentation has been blank for a year on such a simple and commonly used feature.

Hey @HenryHengZJ any idea how? Looks like we all are interested. And from what I see, the documents are not finished and I have not found a single tutorial on the internet either

Guys, nevermind! I found the way. On the Write / Read node, you must tell it both things:

With the text being whatever you want, and the file_path the name of the file. The directory is wrote on the Write File Parameters.

@akordowski did you make it work?

I added this to the end of my system prompt

Use the Write File tool to save the response in .md file, with a suitable filename

.md is probably just the file type I needed, you can always use whatever file type.

Then add the tool with the Base_path of your choice

However I ran into error initially, because it was trying to save it to /Users/uduakessien/Desktop/desktop, so I created desktop under my Desktop....

I further updated the Write File Tool, though, which allowed it to save to the exact base_path I added.

// packages/components/nodes/tools/WriteFile:82

import * as path from 'path'

 async _call({ file_path, text }: z.infer<typeof this.schema>) {
   const nodeStore = this.store as NodeFileStore

   // Extract just the filename from the path and clean it
   let cleanFileName = path.basename(file_path)

   await this.store.writeFile(cleanFileName, text)
   return 'File written to successfully updated.'
 }

No, this was a onetime test long time ago 😉
