Upload a file

npm install superagent

const superagent = require("superagent");
const isNil = require("lodash/isNil");

superagent
  .put(`http://127.0.0.1:9883`)
  .accept("json")

  // optional token
  // .set("token", "4nV1dXzdU6HVDuVc")

  // tell the daemon where to put the file
  .field("destPath", path.join("/tmp", "upload.png"))

  // upload the file
  .attach("srcFile", path.join(__dirname, "test", "upload.png"))

  // did it work?
  .end(function(err, res) {
    if (isNil(err) === false) {
      return console.error("error uploading file", err);
    }
