I am trying to upload an image using formData. The api is working fine. But the data is displaying null in the server.
My function is
capture_dl_front(){
this.camera.getPicture(this.cameraOptions)
.then(imageData => {
this.customer.dl_front = normalizeURL(imageData);
this.upload_dl_front(imageData);
}, error => {
this.func.showAlert('Error',JSON.stringify(error));
});
}
upload_dl_front(imageFileUri: any): void {
this.file.resolveLocalFilesystemUrl(imageFileUri)
.then(entry => (<FileEntry>entry).file(file => this.readFile_dl_front(file)))
.catch(err => console.log('Error',JSON.stringify(err)));
}
private readFile_dl_front(file: any) {
const reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = () => {
const imgBlob = new Blob([reader.result], { type: file.type });
this.dl_front_imageUri = imgBlob;
this.dl_front_imageName = file.name;
alert(this.dl_front_imageName)
const img = new FormData();
img.append('image', this.dl_front_imageUri, this.dl_front_imageName)
this.api.test(img).then(data=>alert("final: "+data))
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
}
and my api function is
test(image){
let headers = new HttpHeaders({
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
});
return new Promise( resolve => {
this.http.post(url, image, { headers: headers})
.subscribe(
data => {
resolve(data['message']);
},
error => {
resolve(error.statusText);
}
);
});
}
and i am getting the file in my laravel server as
$image = $request->file('image');
but i am getting null in the image parameter.
What am i doing wrong here?
