> Learn about file handling and management in Julep

## Overview

Julep’s Files feature supports uploading, storing, retrieving, and integrating files across Julep components. It handles various file types and formats.

## File Properties

Each file in Julep has the following properties:

```typescript theme={"dark"}
id: string; // Unique identifier
name: string; // Name of the file
content: string; // Base64 encoded content
created_at: string; // Creation timestamp
size: number; // File size in bytes
hash: string; // File hash for verification
description?: string; // Optional description
mime_type?: string; // Optional MIME type
```

## Basic Operations

### Creating Files

Here's how you can create files using the SDKs:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"dark"}
  from julep import Julep

  client = Julep()

  file = client.files.create(
      name="example.pdf",
      content="base64_encoded_content",
      description="Sample document",
      mime_type="application/pdf"
  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"dark"}
  import Julep from '@julep/sdk';
  const client = new Julep();
  const file = await client.files.create({
      name: "example.pdf",
      content: "base64_encoded_content",
      description: "Sample document",
      mime_type: "application/pdf"
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Retrieving Files

Here's how you can retrieve files using the SDKs:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"dark"}
  file = client.files.get("file_id")
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"dark"}
  const file = await client.files.get("file_id");
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Deleting Files

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"dark"}
  client.files.delete("file_id")
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={"dark"}
  await client.files.delete("file_id");
