Multipart POST?

[dkrusenstrahle]

Hello,

I am trying to upload an image to my remote Rails API (with paperclip).
How can I do a multipart POST using Afmotion?

Thanks!

This has been added to AFMotion 0.3 (just released). The syntax looks like this: https://github.com/clayallsopp/afmotion#multipart-requests

It leaks the AFNetworking abstraction a bit, but it at least exposes a somewhat cleaner interface...would've been a bigger undertaking/hack to get it working with an ideal implementation =\

Ah, perfect! How ca I monitor and display progress with the solution? I want to use a progressbar like I do with raw AFNetworking solution.

I added a new API for this, update to AFMotion version 0.4:

client.multipart.post("avatars") do |result, form_data, progress|
  if form_data
    # Called before request runs
    # see: https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/wiki/AFNetworking-FAQ
    form_data.appendPartWithFileData(data, name: "avatar", fileName:"avatar.png", mimeType: "image/png")
  elsif progress
    # 0.0 <= progress <= 1.0
    my_widget.update_progress(progress)
  elsif result.success?
    ...
  else
    ...
  end
end
