Hi,

My problem is that I want to send an image as a POST request to my api, for that I open my ImagePicker from felgo to select my image but the problem is that I do not get my image as a file but just its path… while the body of my request must be of type “FormData”.
How can I upload my image?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I recommend to have a look at the HttpRequest item, which is a QML integration of the SuperAgent JavaScript library. The request object you get from HttpRequest also supports an attach(…) for attaching files to the request: https://felgo.com/doc/felgo-httprequest/#authentication-timeouts-attachments-and-more

Unfortunately we do not have a code example for this use-case yet.

Best,
Günther

Hi,

is there also the possibility to send the captured Image via HttpRequest without saving it to the disk? To avoid unneeded permission requests.

Best would be to do it just with Qml.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Silvio,

the captured image will always be saved to an app-internal storage, which does not request any additional permissions, and you get the path to this image in your application. In order to send it via a request, you can use the HttpRequest ImageUtils (https://felgo.com/doc/felgo-httpimageutils/) or the generic FileUtils (https://felgo.com/doc/felgo-fileutils/) to attach the image with your request.

Best,
Alex
