Uploading image file through API using Symfony2 & FOSRESTBundle

Question

I have been coding an API for a photo sharing app like Instagram using Symfony2, FOSRESTBundle, and Vichuploader for file uploads.

I\'m able to work around GET and P

Answer 1

This is a full upload from api code bit. This does upload the file, but I am still having trouble with validating the uploaded file. Hope this helps.

This uses fosrest bundle for REST.

private function addResource(Entity $resource) {
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $em->persist($resource);
    $em->flush();
}

private function processForm(Entity $resource)
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $uploadedFile = null;

    $form = $this->createForm(new EntityForm(), $resource);

    foreach ($_FILES as $file) {
        $uploadedFile = new UploadedFile(
            $file['tmp_name'], 
            $file['name'], $file['type'],
            $file['size'], $file['error'], 
            $test = false);
    }

    $submitData = array(
        "file" => $uploadedFile,
    );

    $form->submit($submitData);

    if ($form->isValid()) {
        $repository = $this->getDoctrine()
            ->getRepository('AcmeBundle:Product');

        $view = View::create();
        $resource->setFile($uploadedFile);

        // handling api requests
        if ($this->getRequest()->getMethod() == "POST") {

            $this->addResource($resource);

            // store image url
            $resource = $repository->find($resource->getId());

            if ($resource->getImage()) {
                $fs = new Filesystem();

                if ($fs->exists($resource->getWebPath())) {
                    $resource->setImagePath($resource->getWebPath());    
                }

                $this->addResource($resource);
            }

            $view->setData($resource);
        } 

        return $view;
    }

    return View::create($form);        
}
