Accessing file field in custom flow operation

[vapid ridge]

Hey, I am working on a custom operation that will parse MS and PDF files from any file field. I have many ideas on how to implement this, but I think I can learn from folks here on what is a better way. Mainly, I have 2 problems:

1- Configure the filed in the operation options. Is there an option type for listing all file fields in directus?
2- The lib I am using to parse the files expect a file path and will read it using fs.readFileSync. My directus instance is configured with gcp storage, so any suggestions on how to pass this in my operation?

lastly. if there is already a utility to do this that I am not aware of please let me know, thanks!

fs.readFileSync will only work for local files so i doubt that will play nice with gcp. You could use the Directus File library instead of trying to read the file using fs

I am using a lib to do the content extraction, this is the only API it exposes, so don't have much control. Might fallback to writing my own implementation if there's no alternative

any idea how to get files in directus extensions? I only found AssetsService exposed, but it expects images. FilesService doesn't expose any download utils. And I can't seems to access stoarge from the extensions sdk?
