Post image and additional data to WebAPI

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/14413414

Natively WebAPI doesn't support binding of multiple POST parameters. 

Here I already gave two examples of WebAPI with multiple Post parameters. Now I will use similiar approach to send image plus additional data, like file and folder name.

First don't forget in Program.cs to add Service:

builder.Services.AddMvc().AddNewtonsoftJson();

Controller:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

namespace UploadImageServer.Controllers;

public class UploadImageController : Controller
{
    [HttpPost]
    [Route("UploadImage")]

    public async Task<IActionResult> UploadImage([FromBody] JObject? data)
    {
        if (data is null) return BadRequest(new { message = "No image." });
        string? base64Image = data["image"]?.ToString();

        if (base64Image == null) return BadRequest(new { message = "No image." });
        byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64Image);

        Directory.CreateDirectory(data["folderName"]?.ToString() ?? string.Empty);

        string imagePath = $"{data["folderName"]}\\{data["fileName"]}";
        await System.IO.File.WriteAllBytesAsync(imagePath, imageBytes);

        return Ok(new { message = "Image uploaded successfully." });
    }
}

Client:

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System.Net.Http.Headers;

string imageUrl = "spring.jpg";
string base64Image = ConvertImageToBase64(imageUrl);
var jsonData = new JObject
{
    ["image"] = base64Image
    , ["fileName"] = "magnolia.jpg"
    , ["folderName"] = "spring"
};
string jsonContent = jsonData.ToString();

using HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
StringContent content = new StringContent(jsonContent);
content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");

HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PostAsync("https://localhost:7028/UploadImage", content);

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Image uploaded successfully!");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed to upload image. Status code: " + response.StatusCode);
}

static string ConvertImageToBase64(string imagePath)
{
    byte[] imageBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(imagePath);
    return Convert.ToBase64String(imageBytes);
}
