I am recording video using expo camera, the recorded video is saved in the cache and I want to upload the recorded video to the server. I have the uri to the video, but to upload it to the server I need the file itself. How can I add the file to the body of the request? (I can't use rn-fletch-blob or react-native-fs, because it 's an expo project)
Ok so you have the uri
Now we have to create a form-data
as it is a file.
to create form-data
follow these steps
Create A function
const CreateFormData = (uri) => {
// Here uri means the url of the video you captured
const form = new FormData();
form.append("File", {
name: "SampleVideo.mp4",
uri: uri,
type: "video/mp4",
});
// Now perform a post request here by adding this form in the body part of the request
// Then you can handle the file you sent in the backend i.e server
};
