RestSharp request with image file and json body together
Hi! Im trying to send a POST request to my local API that accept files & json body. I need to perform a single request that sends the json data & the file.
ᴅI would send the request using a class object, so I dont have to write long code
ᴅthis is what Im actually doing
ᴅbut in my rest API i had to do this for accept data from my C# application and postman or other programs/scripts
ᴅif body contains data its from the C# application,
ᴅbut I want to use the body as it is without checking if data is present
ᴅand I wont do long code
ᴅany ideas?
TWhy not encode the files bytes into base64
TI added files directly to the body once using AddBody
TLike this
Where the file type was just smth like "image/jpg"
request.AddBody(myFileBytes, myFileType);Where the file type was just smth like "image/jpg"
TAlso I'd recommend working with JObjects when constructing your requests, anonymous types might cause issues later
You're using Newtonsoft.Json anyways.

ᴅbinary its better
ᴅeh I need to send a body with the file and the class data together
ᴅi think im gonna do AddParameter for every class property
ᴅsince are only 3 properties so I dont have to write a lot of code
ᴅif you have more ideas, tell me!
Vthe proper way to do this is using multi-part boundaries
Vyou could send one content part with the json data and theh other content part with the file data.
VI would recommend using
HttpClientRestSharpRestSharpHttpClientRestSharp
ᴅany example?
Vᴅif I do like this its ok?
Vno clue. i don't use restsharp. haven't touched it in over a decade.
ᴅno i mean
ᴅits a good method? or not
ᴅit works with restsharp but I mean the method its ok or shitty
Vdepends on whaht you're trying to do. looks like you're doing form data, which is not whath you said you wanted to do originally.
ᴅI want perform a request like postman to my API
Vi would never use reflection like this.
ᴅi can do like this too
Vmuch better
ᴅsince I know what properties the class has
ᴅi dont need dynamic things
ᴅim right no?
Vcorrect
ᴅthe only problem is that description can be null :/
ᴅso I have to check if its null before do the request
Vif you want to add a null check before adding description to theh request, that's fine
ᴅmy problem is that Im always insecure about myself
ᴅi want write good code but I never know if its good or not
Vfirst, you're going to write lots of crappy code before you write good code. that's ok. you're learning.
second, you're on a decent track; you're asking good questions, and you're trying things out.
third, i would recommend you stop learning restsharp - it's not used often these days, so it likely won't help you when you encounter real code.

ᴅmh okey
ᴅthanks a lot 
ᴅok nothing for some reasons the API isnt getting description, so I'll leave as I did last night
ᴅas I did here
ᴅits a private code so.. doesnt care too much
ᴅbut im really sad because be a beginner (on API things) its very bad :(
ᴅi use a lot C# but never did these things regarding API stuff with files upload
ᴅwhat u think @viceroypenguin | 
? (sorry for ping)
? (sorry for ping)ᴅi mean, should I care of a private code?
