How can I attach a file to a drag event in JavaScript?

I would like to be able to drag from my web application onto another web application which expects a WAV file. I don't have any control over the target application.

I can create the bytes of the WAV file, but the files property of the data transfer event is read only, so I don't see a way to add the file there. My makeWav function returns a DataView of the binary data.

My code here fails because "files" is read only.

this.div.addEventListener('dragstart', (ev: DragEvent) => {
  const data = WavMaker.makeWav(
    this.audioCtx, this.buffer, this.startOffsetS, this.durationS);
  const f = new File([data.buffer], "clip.wav");
  ev.dataTransfer.files = [f];  // Fails because 'files' is read only.
  ev.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = "copy";
});

Maybe there is some way to do this with the setData function, but this uses a string for the data, not a binary object:

  const stringData = String.fromCharCode(...new Uint8Array(data.buffer));
  ev.dataTransfer.setData("audio/webm", stringData);

When I do this, I get the expected green "+" when I drag the element onto the target page, but the target application does nothing in response after dropping the element. It is probably just eating the error and not logging anything to the console.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
