The request body is a form-data
. The request body has a key, image
that expects a file (image file here). This is what I've done so far:
final response = await http.MultipartRequest(
'POST', Uri.parse(Constant.baseUrl + 'api/patients'))
..headers.addAll({"Authorization": "Bearer $token"})
..fields.addAll({
"first_name": firstName,
"last_name": lastName,
"email": email,
"date_of_birth": dob,
"address": address,
"gender": gender,
"blood_group": bg,
"primary_phone": primaryPhone,
"alt_phone": altPhone
})
..files.add(await http.MultipartFile.fromPath(
'image',
image.path,
));
I'm attaching the postman request body here for better understanding of my question. The last key is the one I'm facing trouble with.
I think I'm just uploading the image file without the key. That is why, my request works but the image still doesn't get posted. The image file here is a XFile (using the image_picker library in FLutter).
Also I want to achieve this using the http
library. I know it is possible through dio
. But just for this request, I don't want to import another library.
uploadTest(FilePickerResult result, String url, docname, formId,
{lastService: false}) async {
print(result);
if (result != null) {
String filename = docname;
final file = result.files.first;
// if (lastService == true) {
filename = docname + '.' + file.name.split(".")[1];
print("filename is $filename");
// }
var uri = Uri.parse(url);
var stream = http.ByteStream(file.readStream);
var request = http.MultipartRequest('POST', uri);
final mimeType = lookupMimeType(file.name ?? '');
var val1 = {
"customerId": variableMap['customerId'],
"FormId": formId,
"docName": filename
};
final val2 = json.encode(val1);
request.fields['val'] = val2;
var multipartFile = http.MultipartFile(
'myFile',
stream,
file.size,
filename: filename,
contentType: mimeType == null ? null : MediaType.parse(mimeType),
);
request.files.add(multipartFile);
final httpClient = http.Client();
final response = await httpClient.send(request);
if (response.statusCode != 200) {
throw Exception('HTTP ${response.statusCode}');
}
final body = await response.stream.transform(utf8.decoder).join();
print(body);
}
}
// I am posting the method that i used ..havenot customized as your usecase. It performs the imageupload from the filePicker
