Upload File not supported with NodeJS

General
1

I’m building an admin UI using Express + Node.JS. I’m handing all the backendless request using Backendless JS API on Node server and it works perfectly fine. I have one requirement where i have to upload images, when i try to post the file using the below code, i get an error “Upload File not supported with NodeJS”. Can you please advice how to perform this task on Node.JS server?

Backendless.Files.upload( files, "my-folder", callback );

Hi Arasan,

You can do uploading of files using our REST SDK
In my example, I use npm module ‘request’ for posting the file to the Backendless Server.


var https = require('https');
var request = require('request');
var fs = require('fs');


var options = {
    url: 'https://api.backendless.com/v1/files/web/896.jpg',
    headers: {
        'application-id': '******************',
        'secret-key': '****************',
        'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
        'application-type': 'REST'
    },
    formData: {
        my_file: fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/896.jpg')
    }
};
request.post(options, function optionalCallback(err, httpResponse, body) {
    if (err) {
        return console.error('upload failed:', err);
    }
    console.log('Upload successful!  Server responded with:', body);
});
