how to implement multipart/form-data using the HasMultipartBody trait

[ithuis]

i am trying to upload an image to bigcommerce. the Api reference says there is a required field name "image_file" and i must be send using the multipart/form-data media type.

but i cant figure out how to add the "image_file" field? is that possible? using the HasMultipartBody trait?

Hey @ithuis Yes you are correct you would use the HasMultipartBody trait which is detailed here: https://docs.saloon.dev/the-basics/request-body-data/multipart-form-body

I imagine you would have an implementation like this on your request

class YourRequest extends Request implements HasBody
{
    use HasMultipartBody;

    // ...

    protected function defaultBody(): array
    {
         return [
              return new MultipartValue('image_file', 'file-contents-or-stream', 'file-name.jpg'); // Note your extension might be different
         ];
    }
}

Hope this helps

How does one send additional form fields that aren't files?
