Append object which contain File and String value

Question

I'm finding a solution to append object which contain File and String value into FormData and send it to server (MultiPartParser of Django Rest FrameWork).

Console.log(file)

Now my code is:

Fd.append('file_uploads', JSON.stringify({ 'file': file, 'order_num': 1 }) )

When I console.log this value of form data, it returns {"file":{},"order_num":1}. You can see file value is empty.

I tried to remove JSON.stringify:

Fd.append('file_uploads', { 'file': file, 'order_num': 1 } )

When I console.log this value of form data, it returns [object, object].

I want the results is

{"file":<file_object>,"order_num":1}

Answer 1

You can not append file object and key value with FormData. Try alternative solution like this

i.e) I will add order_no with file name and in python you can use string split function to get the order_no

Fd.append('file_uploads', file, 'your_filename_here_and_order_no');
