Convert File to Data URL

[stevediaz]

Hello

To convert CAD files to a data URL, you can use Python libraries such as base64 and pathlib. Here's a short example:

import base64
from pathlib import Path

def convert_cad_to_data_url(file_path):
    with open(file_path, "rb") as file:
        cad_data = file.read()

    base64_data = base64.b64encode(cad_data).decode("utf-8")
    mime_type = get_mime_type(Path(file_path).suffix.lower())
    data_url = f"data:{mime_type};base64,{base64_data}"

    return data_url

def get_mime_type(file_extension):
    mime_types = {
        ".stl": "application/vnd.ms-pki.stl",
        ".obj": "text/plain",
    }
    return mime_types.get(file_extension, "application/octet-stream")

You can use the convert_cad_to_data_url function by passing the file path as an argument, and it will return the corresponding data URL for the CAD file.

Hope it helps you.
