listFiles response type is not valid for folders

[lorenzocestaro]

The response type for the listFIiles API is only valid for file objects, but if the API is used to fetch folders the response will be different, for example:

{
  type: 'folder',
  name: 'folder-name',
  createdAt: '2024-12-02T20:54:59.433Z',
  updatedAt: '2024-12-02T20:54:59.433Z',
  folderId: '674e1ea3e375273f609c',
  folderPath: '/path/to/folder'
}

Unfortunately this is not even documented in the official API documentation of ImageKit. And there might even be a third response type for file-version. All available types according to the docs are:

• file
• file-version
• folder
• all

From the top of my head a solution to this would be making the response type dependent on the input type parameter (with all returning a union of all types). This should be quite clean and users can easily narrow down type using type in each object.

Thanks for pointing out, we will fix types and improve docs soon.

Hey @lorenzocestaro, this should be fixed in version 6.0.0
