I'm trying to upload image file to Rest server(Confluence to be more specific) using Restify module but getting Assertion error. I'm not sure if I'm using right approach for file upload to REST server. Could anyone point me to the right direction?
This is my attempt -
var restify = require('restify');
var header = {'Authorization': 'Basic xxxxx', 'content-type': 'multipart/form-data'};
var client = restify.createJsonClient({
url: 'http://www.testsite.com',
version: '*',
headers: header
});
var image = "c:\\Users\\abc\\Documents\\bbb.jpg";
var fileStream = fs.createReadStream(image);
var stat = fs.statSync(image);
var size = stat["size"];
var param = "?pageId=123&filename=mynewimage&mimeType=image%2Fjpeg&size=" + size;
fileStream.pipe(
client.post("/plugins/drag-and-drop/upload.action"+param, function(err, req, res, obj) {
if (err) {
return err;
}
})
);
UPDATE:
This is an assertion error I'm getting assert.js:86
throw new assert.AssertionError({ ^ AssertionError: body at Object.module.exports.(anonymous function) [as ok] (c:\Users\abc\myproj\node_modules\restify\node_modules\assert-pl us\assert.js:242:35) at JsonClient.write (c:\Users\abc\myproj\node_modules\restify\lib\clients\json_client.js:31:12) at ReadStream.ondata (_stream_readable.js:540:20) at ReadStream.emit (events.js:107:17) at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:163:16) at ReadStream.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:126:10) at onread (fs.js:1683:12) at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:529:17)
I was struggling both sending a request containing multipart/form-data
and processing this request on an API using restify 5
. Following @mscdex answer I came up with the following code that handles both scenarios:
"use strict"
const restify = require('restify'),
plugins = require('restify-plugins'),
fs = require('fs'),
request = require('request'),
FormData = require('form-data');
var server = restify.createServer();
server.use(plugins.multipartBodyParser()); // Enabling multipart
// Adding route
server.post('/upload', (req, res, next) =>{
/**
* Processing request containing multipart/form-data
*/
var uploaded_file = req.files.mySubmittedFile; // File in form
//Reading and sending file
fs.readFile(uploaded_file.path, {encoding: 'utf-8'}, (err, data)=>{
// Returning a JSON containing the file's name and its content
res.send({
filename: uploaded_file.name,
content: data
});
next()
});
});
// Launching server at http://localhost:8080
server.listen(8080, start);
// Client request
function start(){
// Making a request to our API using form-data library
// Post file using multipart/form-data
var formData = {
mySubmittedFile: fs.createReadStream('/tmp/hello.txt')
}
request.post({'url': 'http://localhost:8080/upload', formData: formData}, function(err, res, body){
console.log("Response's body is: "+ body);
});
}
Using:
I tried not using the libraries form-data
and request
to only use restify/http but I ended up with a horrible long code.
