如何使用 swift 从 iOS 设备上传文件（到 REDCap）

Question

我正在尝试将保存到应用程序（使用 ResearchKit 构建）内的目录中的文件上传到服务器（通过 REDCap API）。 REDCap API Playground 建议使用多种语言编写代码，但不包括 Objective-C 或 Swift。对于这种情况，我需要使用 Swift，这对我来说是第一次。以下是我尝试的一种方法，不幸的是不起作用：

func postFileToRedcap (_ fileUrl: URL) {
    guard let url = URL (string: "https://our_redcap_url.edu/api/") else {return}
    let token = "ABCDEFGHIJK123456789" // unique to REDCap project
    let record = "1" // can be set elsewhere
    let event = ""
    let field = "file_upload_field" // name of field in REDCap
    
    if !fileUrl.pathComponents.isEmpty {
        let fileName = URL(fileURLWithPath: fileUrl.absoluteString).lastPathComponent
        var request = URLRequest.init(url: url)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"
        // parameters required by REDCap
        request.addValue(token, forHTTPHeaderField: "token")
        request.addValue(fileName, forHTTPHeaderField: "content")
        request.addValue("import", forHTTPHeaderField: "action")
        request.addValue(record, forHTTPHeaderField: "record")
        request.addValue(field, forHTTPHeaderField: "field")
        request.addValue(event, forHTTPHeaderField: "event")
        request.addValue("json", forHTTPHeaderField: "returnFormat")
        
        let task = URLSession.shared.uploadTask(
            with: request,
            fromFile: fileUrl
        )
        task.resume()
    }
}

主要问题似乎是参数设置，但我似乎找不到适用于 REDCap 的解决方案。

我们慷慨地接受了所有帮助。

Answer 1

经过太多时间，我意识到关键是使用

request.addValue("multipart/form-data; boundary=\(boundary)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

但正是来自 Postman 的代码片段使我能够成功构建参数数组和有效负载。我确信这是一个可以简化的工作版本。

   import Foundation
     
    guard let url = URL (string: "https://our_redcap_url.edu/api/") else {return}
    let token = "ABCDEFGHIJK123456789" // unique to REDCap project
    let record : = "1" // set elsewhere
    let event = ""
    let field = "file_upload_field" // name of field in REDCap
    let path = "path_of_file_to_be_uploaded"
    let repeat_instance : Int = 1
     
    let parameters = [
        [
        "key": "token",
        "value": token,
        "type": "text"
        ],
        [
        "key": "content",

        "src": path,
        "type": "file"
        ]] as [[String : Any]]
     
    // build payload
    let boundary = "Boundary-\(UUID().uuidString)"
    var body = ""
    for param in parameters {
    if param["disabled"] == nil {
        let paramName = param["key"]!
        body += "--\(boundary)\r\n"
        body += "Content-Disposition:form-data; name=\"\(paramName)\""

            body += "\r\n\r\n\(paramValue)\r\n"
        } else {
            let paramSrc = param["src"] as! String
            let fileData = try? NSData(contentsOfFile:paramSrc, options:[]) as Data
            let fileContent = String(data: fileData!, encoding: .utf8)!
            body += "; filename=\"\(paramSrc)\"\r\n"
            + "Content-Type: \"content-type header\"\r\n\r\n\(fileContent)\r\n"
            }
        }
    }
    body += "--\(boundary)--\r\n";
    let postData = body.data(using: .utf8)
     
    // create URL request and session
    var request = URLRequest(url: url,timeoutInterval: Double.infinity)
    request.addValue("multipart/form-data; boundary=\(boundary)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
     
    request.httpMethod = "POST"
    request.httpBody = postData
     
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
    guard let data = data else {
        print(String(describing: error))
        return
        }
        print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)
    }
    task.resume()
