## Properties

| Property      | Type                                              | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`        | `string`                                          | File identifier sent to the server. Required. Must be unique within the call - uploads are matched back to files by name.                                     |
| `contentType` | `string`                                          | MIME content type. Required. Supported values are `"application/pdf"` and `"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"` (DOCX). |
| `path?`       | `string`                                          | Filesystem path to the file (Node.js / server-side). Required when `data` is not provided.                                                                    |
| `data?`       | `Uint8Array` \| `ArrayBuffer` \| `Blob` \| `File` | Raw file bytes (in-memory). Takes precedence over `path` when provided. `Buffer` also works (it is a `Uint8Array` subclass).                                  |
