Hello Support,

I have two questions:

1) Long ago i set up the file-creation service using the "Drag&Drop" interface (without coding in Javascript), now i only found only the tutorial to use it with JS (or the multiple uploader helper). How can I set the parameters to use the D&D? (I remember there was "encode" to set with base64 and other parameters).

2) Once I called it with the D&D is it possible to get the id of the created file with the response using the service? (in javascript I get it using "data.filename").

Thanks a lot for your help!

Have a good day.

Hello Gabriele,

Yes. The old API is working, nothing has not changed.

To upload a file, send a POST request according to the URL:

curl-X POST \
-H "X-Appery-Database-Id: " \
-H "X-Appery-Session-Token: " \
-H "Content-Type: " \
-d "" \
https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/files/

where: is Appery DB user's session token;
is the database unique identifier;
the is the name of file in DB;
is the MIME content type;
is the contents of the file;

Server returns HTTP 201 Created status and JSON object response (with "Location:" header):
{
"filename":,
"fileurl":
}

Thank you very much Evgene!
I just tried and it worked fine! I don't know what I did wrong yesterday evening because I think to have done the same thing.

Maybe there was some problems in the servers yesterday? Because many times I received errors randomly!

Thanks again!

Gabriele,

As far as I know there weren't any issues with the server, but I'm glad it works for you now!

Thank you Evgene.
I have another question: I'm struggling with the upload of an image. Which is the correct mapping always trying to avoid JS? I tried to drag from the attribute "asset" of the image compoenent to the "body.data" of the request of file_create_service. it works but the image is not a real image in the DB, it's just a base64 that, if downlaoded, doens't show the relative image.
So I used the function dataURItoBlob but the result in the body of the DB is just "type=image%2Fjpeg&size=19148".

Any idea?

Thanks again. Gabriele

Hello,

General idea is as in tutorial http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...
Please read it and let us know if it helps.

Hi Alena,

Thanks a lot for the answer.
I've seen your link but I think it's dealing still with a base64 string (putting it into a custom field into a collection). What I'd like to do is to upload a blob into the "files" DB (no collection). I did it with JS but I'd like to do with the interface.

Hello Gabriele,

Could you please give js code which is working for you and screenshots of what you do with mapping?
