Base on the Slack API file.upload documentation What you need to have are:

• Token : Authentication token bearing required scopes.
• Channel ID : Channel to upload the file
• File : File to upload

Here is the sample code. I am using WebClient method in @slack/web-api package to upload it in slack channel.

import { createReadStream } from 'fs';
import { WebClient } from '@slack/web-api';

const token = 'token'
const channelId = 'channelID'
const web = new WebClient(token);

const uploadFileToSlack = async () => {
   await web.files.upload({
     filename: 'fileName',
     file: createReadStream('path/file'),
     channels: channelId,
   });
}
