How can I upload an image from post-man to the loopback component storage upload api. I have already setup the api and successfully uploaded to the storage through file upload from a form from my website, but I am not able to post it from postman. What should be the request body and headers for the same?

Say you have base api root http://myserver.com

To create a container :

1) The url : http://myserver.com/containers

2) Request Header : Content-Type : application/json

3) Body (you can set it in raw tab) :

{
 "name": "my-container"
}

4) Method : POST


To upload a file to container my-container

1) The Url : http://myserver.com/containers/my-container/upload

2) Request Header : Content-Type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded

3) Body : form-data (you choose the file in tab form-data)

The key is not important. Even it can be empty.

The value should be of type file.

When you choose value type of file, the file chooser appears and you can select the file.

4) Method : POST
