A simple CLI tool for uploading files to the File Dumper service.

# Upload a file
cat path/to/file.jpg | deno run --allow-net https://esm.town/v/wolf/FileDumpThing/cli/upload.ts file.jpg

# Upload text
echo "Hello World" | deno run --allow-net https://esm.town/v/wolf/FileDumpThing/cli/upload.ts note.txt

The filename argument is optional but helps identify the file in the URL.

The CLI automatically detects whether the input is text or binary:

• Text content is uploaded as plain text
• Binary content is uploaded as a file

This detection happens by checking for null bytes and validating UTF-8 encoding.

# Upload and open in browser
cat image.png | deno run --allow-net https://esm.town/v/wolf/FileDumpThing/cli/upload.ts image.png | xargs open

# Upload and copy URL to clipboard (macOS)
cat document.pdf | deno run --allow-net https://esm.town/v/wolf/FileDumpThing/cli/upload.ts document.pdf | pbcopy

# Upload text from clipboard (macOS)
pbpaste | deno run --allow-net https://esm.town/v/wolf/FileDumpThing/cli/upload.ts notes.txt

For convenience, add this to your shell configuration:

alias filedump='deno run --allow-net https://esm.town/v/wolf/FileDumpThing/cli/upload.ts'

Then use:

cat image.png | filedump image.png

The CLI tool:

1. Reads content from stdin
2. Automatically detects if it's text or binary
3. Uploads it to the API at filedumpthing.val.run
4. Returns a shareable URL
