send image along with other parameters with AFNetworking

Question

I am updating an old application code which used ASIHTTPRequest with AFNetworking. In my case, I am sending a bench of data to API, th

Answer 1

With AFNetworking 2.0.1 this code worked for me.

-(void) saveImage: (NSData *)imageData forImageName: (NSString *) imageName {
    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];

    NSString *imagePostUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/v1/image", BASE_URL];
    NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"imageName": imageName};

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer] multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" URLString:imagePostUrl parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id formData) {
        [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"image" fileName:imageName mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
    }];

    AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success: ^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        DLog(@"response: %@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        DLog(@"Error: %@", error);
    }];
    op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
    [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperation:op];
}

If JSON response is needed use:

op.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

instead of

op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
