prepend Numerical ID , the url of the real created file ?

[scenaristeur]

the https://github.com/jeff-zucker/solid-file-client/ uses the solid.auth.fetch(url,request).

createFile(URL,contentType)

fileClient.createFile(newFile).then(success => {
  console.log(`Created file ${newFile}.`);
}, err => console.log(err) );

This method creates a new empty file. The contentType should be specified either in the URL's extension or in the contentType parameter, but not both.

NOTE : if the file already exists, the solid.community server (and others) will create an additional file with a prepended numerical ID 

jeff-zucker/solid-file-client#8

So is it possible to retrieve that prepend Numerical ID , the url of the real created file ?

The Content-Location response header should provide that for you. Does that work?

[scenaristeur]

yes , it sounds good, the real url could be retrieved with
var location = response.headers.get('location')
var file = location.substr(location.lastIndexOf('/') + 1)
var url = parentFolder+file;

[RubenVerborgh]

var file = location.substr(location.lastIndexOf('/') + 1)
var url = parentFolder+file;

That worries me a bit, should probably be:

const url = new URL(location, parentFolder);
