Server example of UTApi.uploadFiles with setting a customId?

I can't see to find any examples or docs around this;

const uploadthingFile = new File([file], key, {
    type: file.type,    
  })
const response = await uploadthingApi.uploadFiles(uploadthingFile)

const uploadthingFile = new File([file], key, {
    type: file.type,    
  })
const response = await uploadthingApi.uploadFiles(uploadthingFile)

How can you set a customId on upload from the server?

the options object passed has customId property which you can add thus making your code to be

const uploadthingFile = new File([file], key, {
    type: file.type, 
    customId: "my-custom-id"
  })
const response = await uploadthingApi.uploadFiles(uploadthingFile)

const uploadthingFile = new File([file], key, {
    type: file.type, 
    customId: "my-custom-id"
  })
const response = await uploadthingApi.uploadFiles(uploadthingFile)

How do you line up the types?

Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'customId' does not exist in type 'FilePropertyBag'

I ignore this error and on the upload the response still shows customId: null

can you log to see if the customId is null or not when you're uploading and see if you're importing correctly from the server

import { UTApi, UTFile } from "uploadthing/server";

import { UTApi, UTFile } from "uploadthing/server";

I don't know much about the types error i think this might be the case pass your uploadthingFile inside an array when uploading it

uploadthingApi.uploadFiles([uploadthingFile])

uploadthingApi.uploadFiles([uploadthingFile])
