How to post images/files ?

[shivekkhurana]

I'm using the following code to post image to backend :

    post('/admin/update/'+id, {
      name: name,
      cover_picture: coverFile
    })
      .then(function(response) {
         ...
      })
      .fail(function(err) {
        ...
      })
    ;

The post() function adds api keys and handles expired tokens and uses reqwest under the hood. coverFile is an instance of File. The api works with postman but when I checked for the file being sent via reqwest, it returned false. No file is being sent with reqwest. How to fix this ?

This works for me:

let formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', file);

reqwest({
  url: API_URL,
  method: 'post',
  crossOrigin: true,
  processData: false,
  data: formData
}).then(res => console.log(res));

processData=false seems to be the important option
