Using Form Data on Alpha

[oboikanyego]

Hi team, I am trying trying to use formData to send a file to SSD on Alpha. But form data is always sent as an empty object to BFF. Can anyone assist?

Hi @oboikanyego @Shamnad_KS

For now, FormData is not supported in API requests.Please raise a support request. As a workaround, you can use the custom code provided below.

const options = {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
  },                                                  // headers 
  path: 'path',                                       // API route relative to baseUrl
  method: 'POST',                                     // HTTP method
  baseUrl:  {"type":"string","value":'your_baseUrl'}, // baseUrl
  apiAuth: 'apiAuth',                                      // Placeholder for auth token
  body: "body",                                       // payload
};

const file = new FormData()
file.append('path', options.path);
file.append('headers', JSON.stringify(options.headers));
file.append('method', options.method);
file.append('url', JSON.stringify(options.baseUrl));
file.append('isFormData', 'true');
file.append('apiAuth', JSON.stringify(options.apiAuth));
file.append('body', JSON.stringify(options.body));

/**
 * Sends a multipart/form-data HTTP request.
 *
 * @param {string} baseUrl - The API endpoint to send the request to.
 * @param {file} formData - The file object containing request payload.
 * @param {boolean} isFormData - Indicates whether the payload is FormData.
 */
await ap.http(options.baseUrl, file, true);

Let me know if you need help using this in your case. .

Still getting some issue on this,is there something i am missing here:

 const options = {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
  },                                                // headers 
  path: 'end-point',                                     // API route relative to baseUrl
  method: 'POST',                                   // HTTP method
  baseUrl: 'my-base-url',                          // baseUrl
  apiAuth: null,                                    // Placeholder for auth token
  body: "",                                     // payload
};
    console.log('options:', options);
/**
 * Sends a multipart/form-data HTTP request.
 *
 * @param {string} baseUrl - The API endpoint to send the request to.
 * @param {file} formData - The file object containing request payload.
 * @param {boolean} isFormData - Indicates whether the payload is FormData.
 */
await ap.http(options.baseUrl, page.file, true);
