File Upload API is a RESTful API in Spring Boot that is used to upload a file with a few meta data fields such as the file name, file type, file size, file path and upload date and time details. The file is saved in an in-memory database - HSQL and the content of the file is saved at the value specified in the application.properties file called upload_directory. Also, the size limit of the file can be changed at the application.properties file.
This API exposes the end points using the following URI's:
- File API
| Request Method | URI | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /files | Gets all the files |
| GET | /files/{id} | Gets a particular file with the given id |
| POST | /files | Creates a new file |
- Clone or download the project.
- Change the file upload path(upload_directory) in the application.properties file under Resources.
- Changed the file size according to your usage in the application.properties file under Resources.
- Download Postman chrome plugin or any other REST client testing plugins to test the File Upload API.
- Run the Spring Boot application in any IDE.
- Select the file attribute in the body when doing a POST to select the file to upload. Set the key value as "uploadFile".
- POST request will create a new file which was attached on the local system at the specified path.
- GET request on files will get all the files that were uploaded.
