Heya,
Just came across this answer and decided to write some general guidelines for anyone who comes across this in the future despite the old question.
You can use flutter with the http package’s MultipartRequest method to upload files or images. Here’s a basic example:
- dart import 'package:http/http.dart' as http; import 'dart:io'; void uploadFile(filePath) async { var request = http.MultipartRequest('POST', Uri.parse(your_url)); request.files.add(await http.MultipartFile.fromPath('fileKey', filePath)); var response = await request.send(); if (response.statusCode == 200) print('Uploaded!'); }
In this example, replace 'fileKey' with the actual file key the server expects, and filePath with the path of the file you want to upload. The your_url should be the endpoint where you want to upload the file.
For more details, you can refer to the official Flutter documentation on Passing Data and HTTP Package.
Hope that this helps!
