Dear Keith,
I don't know the best way but this work for us. It is used in cooperation with
ACE editor (written in JS):
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var hist_id = null;
$(function() {
var address = '${prefix}/history/current_history_json';
$.get(address, function(resp) {
if (resp && resp.id)
hist_id = resp.id;
});
$('#save_btn').on('click', function() {
var cont = ace.edit('editor').getValue(); # or any other
data, you need to save in new file, here, the data are textual
var dInputs = {
dbkey: '?',
file_type: 'auto',
'files_0|type': 'upload_dataset',
'files_0|space_to_tab': null,
'files_0|to_posix_lines': 'Yes'
};
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('tool_id', 'upload1');
formData.append('history_id', hist_id);
formData.append('inputs', JSON.stringify(dInputs));
formData.append('files_0|file_data', new Blob([cont], {type:
'text/plain'}), $('#editor').attr('file-name'));
$.ajax({
url: '${prefix}/api/tools',
data: formData,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
type: 'POST',
success: function (resp) {
# this part is there to refresh the history panel
otherwise it seems not to turn green
window.setTimeout(function() {
window.parent.$('#history-refresh-button').trigger('click');
}, 3000);
}
});
});
});
</script>
I hope it helps you.
Best regards,
Martin Demko
