Uploaded File to Base64 Question

[JonR]

I have an instance where I would need to upload a file attachment through an API connection but they require it to be in Base64 file content format instead. Is there already a method built into Wappler to handle this?

So the workflow would be user uploads file(s) to server, Server action would convert file(s) to a Base64 format, then run the API Post array of Base64 formatted file(s).

I had seen a few older forum posts asking the same but did not see a solution.

Thanks

Binary data type / Support for API Action file responses

It’s not the first time someone creates a topic asking for helping dealing with server-side API Actions whose return data is a binary file instead of text. In the past, people dealing with Photoroom API [Screenshot] I propose the creation of a new Binary data type, and support for the following modules: Respose: ability to return binary data as response (e.g.: PDF file) Base64 encode: ability to encode binary data to a Base64 string Base64 decode: ability to decode a Base64 string into bina…

Will this help?

Custom Module (node) - Convert file to base 64

Introducing @hyperbytes/wappler-file-to-base64-with-save-option I have noticed recently some users asking about converting files to base64 encoding for use in API's. While Sid has previously produced an extension for something like this I have produced a variation on this idea which allows the file to not only be converted and output but also to be saved. This uses no additional external libraries [image] This extension takes a file path and returns the file as a base64 encoded string. …

Got some time to test it out this morning and it works great. I used the create a list to add the columns the API requires like file name and base64 content, then within the repeat of the file upload used the File to Base 64 extension and added its output to the list along with the filename from the repeat.

Get the value of the attachments list, add it to the JSON for the API and works just fine.

Tested all sorts of file formats without issue.

Greatly appreciate this, thanks.
