ViewsUploading file from local file system in node giving 400 error
I am trying to upload a file to an API using multipart/form-data.
I am able to successfully do this using insomnia as follows:
Headers are set to Content-Type multipart/form-data and the basic auth is also set.
When I try to replicate this in my code I receive a 400 error.
Here is what I have at the moment:
const URL = 'https://api.app.uploadplace.com/v1/';
const token = 'randomkey';
async function readFile(path: string) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fs.readFile(path, 'utf-8', function (err, data) {
if (err) {
reject(err);
}
resolve(data);
});
});
}
export const Upload = async (path: string) => {
const FormData = require('form-data');
const form = new FormData();
let file = await readFile(path);
form.append('file', file);
const config = {
headers: {
'content-type': 'multipart/form-data'
},
auth: {
username: token,
password: ''
}
}
await axios.post(URL, form, config).then(() => {
console.log('success')
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
})
};

The problem is that you are appending the file contents as a string to your form data.
Instead, append the file readable stream...
form.append("file", fs.createReadStream(path));
const config = {
headers: form.getHeaders() // this includes correct mime boundary tokens
auth: {
username: token,
password: ''
}
}
