How to get response body with request.send() in dart

Question

I\'m doing an api request uploading an image with

var request = new http.MultipartRequest(\"POST\", uri);
var response = await request.send()

i

Answer 1

Your MultipartRequest returns a Streamed Response since you used request.send. You will need to extract the string value from the response like below:

import 'package:http/http.dart'

var request = new MultipartRequest("POST", uri);
var response = await request.send()

// Extract String from Streamed Response
var responseString = await response.stream.bytesToString();

In this case the responseString will be just like response.body of

final response = await post(URL, body : map);
