Build the server 9 10 ``` 11 cd restapi/cmd/file-upload-server 12 go build 13 14 ./file-upload-server --port 8000 15 2021/01/17 18:54:09 Serving file upload at http://127.0.0.1:8000 16 ``` 17 18 2. Run the client 19 20 From another terminal: 21 22 ``` 23 go run upload_file.go swagger.yml 24 ``` 25 26 Logs on the server: 27 ``` 28 2021/01/17 18:54:15 received file name: swagger.yml 29 2021/01/17 18:54:15 received file size: 512 30 2021/01/17 18:54:15 copied bytes 512 31 2021/01/17 18:54:15 file uploaded copied as upload427417421/uploaded_file_0.dat 32 ``` 33 34 The file has been copied in a temporary folder `cmd/file-upload-server/upload*/` 35 36 37 ## Specification 38 39 We use the swagger type `file` in a multipart form, like so: 40 41 ```yaml 42 paths: 43 /upload: 44 post: 45 consumes: 46 - multipart/form-data 47 parameters: 48 - name: file 49 in: formData 50 type: file 51 ``` 52 53 ## Server side 54 55 The handler receives a `io.ReadCloser` as the file to consume. 56 57 Under the hood, the runtime builds this with a `*runtime.File`, which provides access to some header information, such as: 58 59 ```go 60 if namedFile, ok := params.File.(*runtime.File); ok { 61 log.Printf("received file name: %s", namedFile.Header.Filename) 62 log.Printf("received file size: %d", namedFile.Header.Size) 63 } 64 ``` 65 66 ## Client side 67 68 The local file is handled as a `runtime.NamedReadCloser` (that is, a `io.ReadCloser` plus the `Name() string` method). 69 A regular `os.File` satisfies this. 70 71 The file can be passed directly to the client method, like so: 72 73 ```go 74 params := uploads.NewUploadFileParams().WithFile(reader) 75 76 _, err := uploader.Uploads.UploadFile(params) 77 ```
