I am new in GoLang language, and I want to create REST API WebServer for file uploading...
So I am stuck in main function (file uploading) via POST request to my server...
I have this line for calling upload function
router.POST("/upload", UploadFile)
and this is my upload function:
func UploadFile( w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, _ httprouter.Params ) {
io.WriteString(w, "Upload files
")
postFile( r.Form.Get("file"), "/uploads" )
}
func postFile(filename string, targetUrl string) error {
bodyBuf := &bytes.Buffer{}
bodyWriter := multipart.NewWriter(bodyBuf)
// this step is very important
fileWriter, err := bodyWriter.CreateFormFile("file", filename)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("error writing to buffer")
return err
}
// open file handle
fh, err := os.Open(filename)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("error opening file")
return err
}
//iocopy
_, err = io.Copy(fileWriter, fh)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
bodyWriter.FormDataContentType()
bodyWriter.Close()
return err
}
but I can't see any uploaded files in my /upload/
directory...
So what am I doing wrong?
P.S I am getting second error => error opening file
, so I think something wrong in file uploading or getting file from UploadFile
function, am I right? If yes, than how I can teancfer or get file from this function to postFile
function?
