How to upload image in Flutter?

Solution 1

Here we are going to use MultipartRequest class.

import 'package:path/path.dart';
import 'package:async/async.dart';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

Here is my code to upload image

Upload(File imageFile) async {    
    var stream = new http.ByteStream(DelegatingStream.typed(imageFile.openRead()));
      var length = await imageFile.length();

      var uri = Uri.parse(uploadURL);

     var request = new http.MultipartRequest("POST", uri);
      var multipartFile = new http.MultipartFile('file', stream, length,
          filename: basename(imageFile.path));
          //contentType: new MediaType('image', 'png'));

      request.files.add(multipartFile);
      var response = await request.send();
      print(response.statusCode);
      response.stream.transform(utf8.decoder).listen((value) {
        print(value);
      });
    }

Solution 2

Using http Library

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

_asyncFileUpload(String text, File file) async{
   //create multipart request for POST or PATCH method
   var request = http.MultipartRequest("POST", Uri.parse("<url>"));
   //add text fields
   request.fields["text_field"] = text;
   //create multipart using filepath, string or bytes
   var pic = await http.MultipartFile.fromPath("file_field", file.path);
   //add multipart to request
   request.files.add(pic);
   var response = await request.send();

   //Get the response from the server
   var responseData = await response.stream.toBytes();
   var responseString = String.fromCharCodes(responseData);
   print(responseString);
}

Solution 3

Using Dio Plugin

The following code uploads a file to a server.

uploadFileFromDio(UserProfile userProfile, File photoFile) async {
    var dio = new Dio();
    dio.options.baseUrl = url;
    dio.options.connectTimeout = 5000; //5s
    dio.options.receiveTimeout = 5000;
    dio.options.headers = <Header Json>;
    FormData formData = new FormData();
    formData.add("user_id", userProfile.userId);
    formData.add("name", userProfile.name);
    formData.add("email", userProfile.email);

    if (photoFile != null &&
        photoFile.path != null &&
        photoFile.path.isNotEmpty) {
      // Create a FormData
      String fileName = basename(photoFile.path);
      print("File Name : $fileName");
      print("File Size : ${photoFile.lengthSync()}");
      formData.add("user_picture", new UploadFileInfo(photoFile, fileName));
    }
    var response = await dio.post("user/manage_profile",
        data: formData,
        options: Options(
            method: 'POST',
            responseType: ResponseType.PLAIN // or ResponseType.JSON
            ));
    print("Response status: ${response.statusCode}");
    print("Response data: ${response.data}");
  }
