multipart/form-data

What is the best way to have a service accept a file as a parameter?

The equivalent thing I am trying to do in a typical golang web app would be: https://tutorialedge.net/golang/go-file-upload-tutorial/

Hey @thebyrd, great question. The best way to do things like this is by dropping down an abstraction level and using raw endpoints:

//encore:api public raw
func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) { /* ... */ }

From there on the TutorialEdge code should work completely unmodified.

@eandre Is there a way to add some sort of annotation?
When I generate the client code from

// Submit something
//encore:api public raw path=/rickroll
func Submit(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {/*handle multipart data*/}

it give me

        /**
         * Submit something
         */
        public Submit(): Promise<void> {
            return this.baseClient.doVoid("POST", `/rickroll`)
        }

This is incorrect since I can't modify the request body

Hey @DrSensor, we’ve actually been working on a much improved client generator that will support this. It’s being released tomorrow most likely :)
