how to upload image to rest API in flutter through http post method? - flutter

Question

I'm trying to upload an image through the flutter via post method. and I'm using image_picker for pick file from mobile but I can't able to upload
and I have tried to send the file like FormData that also doesn't work
Future<dynamic> uploadLicence(int id ,dynamic obj) async {
FormData formdata = new FormData(); // just like JS
formdata.add("image",obj);
final response = await post('Logistic/driver/LicenceImage?
driverId=$id',
formdata);
print(response);
// return null;
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
final result = json.decode(response.body);
return result;
} else {
return null;
}
}
after that, I just tried with this method but this also not working
Future<dynamic> uploadLicence(int id, File file) async {
final url = Uri.parse('$BASE_URL/Logistic/driver/LicenceImage?
driverId=$id');
final fileName = path.basename(file.path);
final bytes = await compute(compress, file.readAsBytesSync());
var request = http.MultipartRequest('POST', url)
..files.add(new http.MultipartFile.fromBytes(
'image',bytes,filename: fileName,);
var response = await request.send();
var decoded = await
response.stream.bytesToString().then(json.decode);
if (response.statusCode == HttpStatus.OK) {
print("image uploded $decoded");
} else {
print("image uplod failed ");
}
}
List<int> compress(List<int> bytes) {
var image = img.decodeImage(bytes);
var resize = img.copyResize(image);
return img.encodePng(resize, level: 1);
}

It's possible with MultipartRequest. Or you can use simply dio package. It's one command.
With http:
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
final Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
final http.MultipartRequest request = http.MultipartRequest("POST", uri);
// Additional key-values here
request.fields['sample'] = variable;
// Adding the file, field is the key for file and file is the value
request.files.add(http.MultipartFile.fromBytes(
field, await file.readAsBytes(), filename: filename);
// progress track of uploading process
final http.StreamedResponse response = await request.send();
print('statusCode => ${response.statusCode}');
// checking response data
Map<String, dynamic> data;
await for (String s in response.stream.transform(utf8.decoder)) {
data = jsonDecode(s);
print('data: $data');
}

I user this code for my project i hope work for you
Upload(File imageFile) async {
var stream = new http.ByteStream(DelegatingStream.typed(imageFile.openRead()));
var length = await imageFile.length();
var uri = Uri.parse(uploadURL);
var request = new http.MultipartRequest("POST", uri);
var multipartFile = new http.MultipartFile('file', stream, length,
filename: basename(imageFile.path));
//contentType: new MediaType('image', 'png'));
request.files.add(multipartFile);
var response = await request.send();
print(response.statusCode);
response.stream.transform(utf8.decoder).listen((value) {
print(value);
});
}
