How to catch Payload attachment in CAP NODEJS ?

Hello EveryOne,

I am working on Media upload in CAP but not able to catch File inside Nodejs.

Here are few screenshots.

Postman Header

CAP Side data where content is not capturing.

CAP entity and service.

I think your application works fine and you can just read from req.data.content. It is probably not shown in the console because it is a binary?

willem.pardaens No attachment should appear in req.data.content, I deployed on BTP there also it is blank.

Have you tried switching the DmsPostFile service from odata to rest (@protocol: 'rest') ? That removes data validation of the incoming payload. Bear in mind this will also change the url it is exposed through.

willem.pardaens No it doesn't work

Last thing I can think of: in another similar project I used the LargeString data type to receive an uploaded file instead of LargeBinary. Once received in the CAP handler I used Buffer.from() to read it.

[rewati_raman_vodafone]

No, LargeString can't be used as LargeBinary. It will be not possible to send LargeString data into Standard API parameter which is type of LargeBinary.

Yes, I have also faced the same issue in case of .XLSX/.CSV files. The OData V2 supports it but not able to do it.
