let extension = lastFile.split(".")[1] || "";

I recall a previous mentor giving us this pro tip to use the 'path' module to return the endpoint file extension quite elegantly.
https://nodejs.org/api/path.html#path_path_extname_path

So you could use something like:

const path = require('path');

const extension = path.extname(endpoint);

waaaat how did I not know about that?! time to change every workshop...

@nikkesan can you post that in Slack so everyone can see it?

@oliverjam I swear this used to be in the Tech Spike 😆

It's in bullet point three here

[oliverjam]

@Albadylic we have been using path.join to create filepaths (rather than doing it manually) which is what I assumed that was referring to. I think every team did that 🎉 but it would also be nice to drop all the awkward string splitting

Will post on slack 👍
