uploadFile method

Future<Response> uploadFile(String endPoint, File file, String fileKey, { Map<String, String>? data, bool isAuthenticated = true, })

This method uploads the file

endPoint - Endpoint of the API file - the file which is to be uploaded fileKey - file will be posted under this key data - Map representation of data to be posted along with the file isAuthenticated - if the API is to be authenticated or not

Implementation

Future<Response> uploadFile(String endPoint, File file, String fileKey,
    {Map<String, String>? data, bool isAuthenticated = true}) async {
  assert(endPoint.isNotEmpty);
  assert(fileKey.isNotEmpty);

  /// Common header
  var headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'};

  /// if the API is to be authenticated, add a bearer token
  if (isAuthenticated) {
    headers.addAll({'Authorization': 'Bearer ${await _getToken()}'});
  }

  /// Create multipart request
  final mimeTypeData =
      lookupMimeType(file.path, headerBytes: [0xFF, 0xD8])!.split('/');
  final multipartRequest =
      http.MultipartRequest('POST', Uri.parse(baseUrl! + endPoint));
  final _file = await http.MultipartFile.fromPath(fileKey, file.path,
      contentType: MediaType(mimeTypeData[0], mimeTypeData[1]));

  /// Add headers, files and fields to the multipart request
  multipartRequest.headers.addAll(headers);
  multipartRequest.files.add(_file);
  if (data != null) multipartRequest.fields.addAll(data);

  var response;

  /// Send the request and await for the response
  final streamedResponse = await multipartRequest.send();
  response = await http.Response.fromStream(streamedResponse);

  return _handleResponse(response);
