When I use the JavaScript client to upload a binary file to a deal, the file gets corrupted. I see that issue #5 (which is closed) explains a fix was to use the file_path property. However, this only works for plain text files for me. When I use a binary file, I get the behavior that @alexandremaeda mentioned in #5.
Ultimately, I had to bypass using the JavaScript client completely and go straight to the API. I looked at how the Pipedrive web app did file uploads and saw that it used the form-data library. The gist below shows my solution using form-data. Because this solution deviates from the typical pattern in the JavaScript client for sending requests to the API, I did not create a pull request.

Could something like this be adapted to work in the API?
