List of file upload

Hey there,

I am trying to upload a list of files from postman to my api, according to the postman console I am indeed sending a list of files in my request:

documents: [2]

but when it arrives in my params I only see one item and it is not even in a list:

"documents" => %Plug.Upload{
    content_type: "image/jpeg",
    filename: "batman_v_superman_dawn_of_justice-1.jpg",
    path: "/tmp/plug-1587/multipart-1587020491-480959249329018-1"
  }

Is there something specific that needs to be done in order to have a list of files accepted?

Thanks!

ok seems to be postman issue you need to add

at the end of the name of your field for every field you want in the list

I know this isn’t extremely helpful but I would also try with curl. It’s my benchmark if I’m calling an API correctly.

I’m not sure if postman is to blame. There’s no spec around how query/body parameters need to be named, therefore it’s up to the receiver to decide how certain names/values are resolved to native data.

Where Next?
