Using PHP/Laravel to upload picture in server

[jujogi]

Hi,

I trying get the data sended by my Nativescript App to my Laravel API but when I debug the data request I do not how to get it.

    public function upload(Request $request){

        return $request; //is empty when I called task.on("responded", this.responded);

    }

I know that the data arrives because request headers are present:

    public function upload(Request $request){
        $all_headers = apache_request_headers();
        return $all_headers;
}

{
   "Accept-Encoding":"gzip, deflate",
   "Accept-Language":"en-us",
   "Content-Length":"43",
   "User-Agent":"impulsateapp\/1.0.0 CFNetwork\/975.0.3 Darwin\/18.2.0",
   "Cookie":"XSRF-TOKEN=eyJpdiI6ImRTeE8wNkZTdGMwWERmSisyRDhKMHc9PSIsInZhbHVlIjoic0ZBdVwvVmN4UVJ2SGZKUzJjdndvZTFpNDhUNkZQR1N6R1A3K29cL3NCdWp0NjJBRXA5VTJJU2tkajJHODJpNllhIiwibWFjIjoiMDg4ZDA1NmI2ZTBhNjk4MDNiNDFjMzMzMjQ3YjBlZDFiZWM5NWMyNDczZDI4MWEwOTBmYzdjOGE5MmIwMGEzNiJ9; laravel_session=eyJpdiI6ImhncDMxS0FDV2xiVUhzTFU2MStqK0E9PSIsInZhbHVlIjoiUmZMVmdIdzdhTjFieThpS0MxYjN4clRpSzFFZUpEQ2oyOHZabk90UWdaU2ZiaUgwR2JPWDh6TXV1SGJXNVRZRiIsIm1hYyI6IjM4OTFiOTMyYzk2ZGNmMmM4YzY0NDk4ZTZiNGM0NjQ3Yzg2YjMwYzc3NGYzOTA3ODE0YTY3MzJhOTBiODU2OTkifQ%3D%3D",

   "Accept":"*\/*",
   "Content-Type":"multipart\/form-data; boundary=--------------formboundary11227933549",
   "Host":"localhost:8888"
}

What would be the correct way to obtain the data to be able to save them using Laravel or PHP?

Thanks for help!

@jujogi I don't think the issue is related to NativeScript or the used library. It seems strictly related to your serverside logic.

[NickIliev]

btw if you are talking about retrieving the response from the server then something like this should do the job

task.on('responded', (res) => {
                    let statusCode = res.responseCode;
                    let iosResponse = res.data;
                });

Were you able to solve this ?

The trick is use name property and then call him in the controller.

      let request = this.createNewRequest();
      request.description = "uploading image " + file.path;
      request.headers["File-Name"] = this.currentFileNameBeingUploaded;

      const params = [
        {
          name: "image",
          filename: path.toString()
        }
      ];
      let task = this.session.multipartUpload(params, request);

In Laravel Controller:

        $photo = $request->file('image');

        $imageName = time() . '.' . $photo->getClientOriginalExtension();

        $image = $photo->move(public_path('images/uploads'), $imageName);

I hope it helped you! Regards,

Thank you @jujogi I need to send multiple data along with the files. So I ended up having to encode files as strings and attach to my JSON object. then decode at server and store files. This worked for me very well.

Thanks for the tip

Thank you @jujogi this worked perfectly after weeks of research

For those of you reading, as I just was for hours and hours, trying to figure out just what you’re doing wrong... I recommend verifying your php.ini file: make sure that your max_upload_size and post_max_size limits are high enough to accommodate your needs... you won’t get any sort of error in your NS logs if they’re not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

(Edit: of course this has nothing to do with NativeScript... just pointing it out for those using both NS & Laravel 😀)
