How to store a buffer with .moveToDisk

[Tob0t]

Hi,
I'm currently storing my images with the .moveToDisk() method which is quite cosy to do automatic the filename-generation for me.

 public async storeImage(image: MultipartFileContract, folder: string) {
    await image.moveToDisk(folder)
    return image.fileName
  }

Now I also want to resize the image where I decided to use the sharp lib. However, now I am confused how to use the moveToDisk method from a given buffer. Is there any possibility or do I need to fall back to Drive.put()?

public async storeImage(image: MultipartFileContract, folder: string) {
  // resize image
  const resizedImageData = await sharp(image.tmpPath).resize(500).toBuffer()
  await resizedImageData.moveToDisk(folder)
  return resizedImageData.fileName
}

The image.moveToDisk is a method that exists on the MultipartFile instance. Now, once you resize this file and get a buffer, you are not longer using the multipart file, therefore you will have to use Drive APIs directly.

You can use the cuid helper to generate a random name.
