Hello

[near compass]

Hello

I think I have to use loadStirpe()?

[quasi blaze]

See: https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-js/react

That doc indicates how to do this

[near compass]

that doc is for elements no?

i need to do a call

like stripe.this.that

[quasi blaze]

Not sure what you mean by that. The above indicates how you would initialize Stripe.JS

Which yes, is used for Elements and also for Stripe.JS methods

We also show more examples of this in our Github Repo Readme: https://github.com/stripe/react-stripe-js

Where after calling loadStripe you can use the useStripe effect to then call Stripe.JS

[near compass]

so if I do, loadStripe("my_key")

then const stripe = useStripe()

that stripe instance will be ready to use u say?

i dont understand those examples tahts why,
there's no instance calling it like
stripe.files.create

[quasi blaze]

Are you sure you aren't mixing up our backend API with Stripe.JS?

Like you don't call stripe.files.create() from the frontend

You would use our Node SDK to call that from your backend

[near compass]

Yeah yeah, but that's what I was confused about

can I use stripejs "api" on client side or nah?

[quasi blaze]

No

[near compass]

what are the stripejs methods i can use from useStripe

[quasi blaze]

https://docs.stripe.com/js lists the methods

You don't use most methods from our API client-side because it is not secure to do so.

[near compass]

i wanna upload a file from fe

so i would do it with without stripejs right?

[quasi blaze]

You would call your backend from your frontend and upload from there. You can't do that with Stripe.JS

Otherwise any nefarious actor could easily just start uploading random files to your account

[near compass]

okay i get what u're saying

but hasura/nexus doesnt support uploading files to backend

so I have to do a frontend call

with your rest api

is that that unsecure?

[quasi blaze]

Yes

[near compass]

Do I have any way around it?

If I can't send files to backend first?

[quasi blaze]

No, you can only upload files to Stripe from a backend

No other way
