[Feature Request] Support for image file type

[DhruvThu]

Hey, I am new to Robyn framework. Can someone help me to provide an image as response to get request?

Thanks!!

Hey @DhruvThu ,

Right now, you can use something like this:

@app.get("/image")
def return_image():
    return {
        "status": "200",
        "body": Path("test.png").read_bytes(),
        "headers": {"Content-Type": "image/png"},
    }

But this is a good idea, I will create a helper function for it.

Hey, Thank you so much for quick support. I have tried with the code which you have sent. But I am getting this error.

thread 'actix-rt|system:0|arbiter:0' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: PyErr { type: <class 'TypeError'>, value: TypeError("'bytes' object cannot be converted to 'PyString'"), traceback: None }', src/executors/mod.rs:89:47

This is the code which I am using.

from robyn import Robyn, static_file
import pathlib
import io

app = Robyn(file)
@app.get("/getimage")
async def h(request):
return {
"status": "200",
"body": pathlib.Path("img.jpg").read_bytes(),
"headers": {"Content-Type": "image/png"},
}

app.start(port=5000)

I think you are using an async function right now. It only works with sync functions right now 😅

I have tried to run code after removing async. Code is working but I am getting a broken image when I run localhost. My code is as follows:

from robyn import Robyn
from PIL import Image
import pathlib
import numpy as np
import io
import urllib.parse

  
  

app = Robyn(__file__)


@app.get("/getimage")
def return_image(request):
    return {
        "status": "200",
        "body": pathlib.Path("img2.png").read_bytes(),
        "headers": {"Content-Type": "image/png"}
    }

app.start(port=5000)
