能否在单次OneDrive上传请求中完成文件上传与Facet设置？

Great question! I totally get why splitting this into two separate requests (PUT for upload, PATCH for setting Facets) feels unintuitive—it would be way more streamlined to handle everything in one go.

Unfortunately, based on the current OneDrive API design, there's no way to combine these two actions into a single request. Here's why:

• The PUT request for file upload is focused on transferring binary file content to the OneDrive endpoint. Its payload is the file data itself, not metadata.
• The PATCH request is specifically designed for updating item properties (including custom Facets you've pre-created). It uses a JSON payload to modify metadata, which doesn't align with the binary-focused upload endpoint.

Workarounds to make this feel cleaner #

Even though you can't avoid two API calls, you can wrap them into a single logical operation to simplify your code:

• Create a helper function: Build an async function that first sends the PUT upload request, then automatically follows up with the PATCH request to set the Facets. This way, your main code only calls one function instead of handling two separate requests.
• Add error handling: To avoid orphaned files (if upload succeeds but PATCH fails), include logic to delete the uploaded file if the metadata update fails. This keeps your OneDrive storage consistent.
• Watch for API updates: Microsoft occasionally adds new features to the Graph API (which powers OneDrive), so keep an eye on the official docs for any future support for combined upload + metadata set operations.
