Inconsistant json reading in Dropbox #1343
Description
I am writing a bunch of different file types. Some are html, some are json. All the content is stored as a string in the "body" param like so:
{
"revision": "0163ca314dab8fe00000002d8598cd3",
"timestamp": 1755520987607,
"contentType": "application/json",
"body": '{
"state": "unread",
"publication": null,
"publishedDate": "2024-09-24T20:00:00.000Z",
"ingestPlatform": "typescript/web (0.5.0)",
"ingestSource": "url",
"mimeType": "text/html",
"readTimeMinutes": 2,
"progress": 0
}'
}When I fetch any file, the body comes back as text and then I parse it. This has been the case for the RemoteStorage connector at least.
I noticed that when using the DropBox connector however, it reading a json file, the body comes back as JSON. This is inconsistent. So here is what my code looks like.
const file = (await client.getFile(path)) as { data: string };
console.log("data", file.data);
// If file.data is already an object, use it directly as the article
if (typeof file.data === "object") {
// for some reason this only happens with dropbox storage?
articles.push(file.data as Article);
} else {
const article: Article = JSON.parse(file.data);
articles.push(article);
}
