Question: Multipart form-data with Refit

[johnybaryah]

Hi,

I have a dotnet core web api endpoint that takes a strongly typed object as argument

public class FileUploadArgs
{   
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public IFormFileCollection Files { get; set; }
}

Endpoint signature:

[HttpPost, Route("upload")]
public async Task<IActionResult> UploadFile([FromForm] FileUploadArgs args)

I call this method via HTTPIE on shell as

$ http -f POST localhost:5000/api/v3/file/upload Id='123456' Email='test@test.com' 'Files'@/mnt/c/apiloadtest/2124545.pdf x-api-key:'{my-api-key}'

I want to write this endpoint in Refit interface in another app that will send files to this endpoint along with other form data.

I'm not sure how this can be be written in Refit. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I had just one file to send but I sent it this way:

[Multipart]
[Post("your route")]
Task Populate([AliasAs("parametername")] byte[] your file);

Hi I also encountered this problem, how do you solve this problem

send files as byte array or base64 string

[xiaolei000129]

But it lost its original meaning And then there's no way to get the file information across

[azhdarshirinzada]

you have a second option to wait when refit devs add this feature. They didn't it for a 2 years FYI))

Mm-hmm. Ooooooo the baby is already crying

I successfully fulfilled the requirement

While multipart works, sending form-data in the request is not supported. The content-type is always a JSON internally. Any workaround this?

I'm also struggling with this under OrchardCMS/OrchardCore#16430. I couldn't find a way to send a request with Refit to the below API endpoint:

[HttpPost]
[Route("setup")]
public async Task<ActionResult> Setup(SetupApiViewModel model, IFormFile recipe = null)
