How to pass image file to the body of Http request (POST) in Flutter?

Question

I Took a variable in my State File? image;

Then Accesing image from my device

  void filePicker() async {
    final File? selectedImage =await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
    print(selectedImage!.path);
    setState(() {
      image = selectedImage;
    });
  }

Then tyring to pass the image file along with other http body parameters. If I didn't pass the image file, then the API didn't show any error. But I need to pass the image file to get the correct result. As I Explicitly throw Exception, so its throwing exception like Faild to fetch and message in ScaffoldMessenger --> Somthing went wrong

 Future<void> SaveCustomTestBooking() async {
var jsonResponse;
if (EncUserId.isNotEmpty) {
  var postUri = Uri.parse("http://medbo.digitalicon.in/api/medboapi/SaveCustomTestBooking");
  var request = http.MultipartRequest('POST', postUri);
  request.fields['VisitDate'] = _selectedDate;
  request.fields['EncUserId'] = EncUserId;
  request.files.add(new http.MultipartFile.fromBytes('image',await File.fromUri(Uri.parse(image!.path)).readAsBytes(),contentType: new MediaType('image', 'jpeg')));

  request.send().then((response) {
    if (response.statusCode == 200) {
      print("Uploaded!");
      Navigator.push(context,MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => DieticianAfterDateSelectPage(rresponse:DieticianEncBookingIdModel.fromJson(jsonResponse),)));
    } else {
      ScaffoldMessenger.of(context)
          .showSnackBar(SnackBar(content: Text("Somthing went wrong")));
      throw Exception("Faild to fetch");
    }
  });
}

}

Solution

You should use MultiPart post method. Take a look at this.

did you print out base64Encode(image!.readAsBytesSync()) to see if already contains 'data:image/jpg;base64,'

No . But Instead Im displaying the image in my device. and its showing the image

[Toujo]

I also try 'UserFile':image.toString(), same error... Its necessary to convert the image to base64 ?
