How to send a form data request with finch
Hello !
I am working with phoenix and trying out finch, which has worked extremely well, until i needed to make a request with a form data type.
I know is not the service, because i can make the request using curl and it responds OK
The request is:
curl --request POST \
--url https:domain.com \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form auth=123abc \
--form id=1 \
--form var=foo \
Is it possible to do it with finch, or I need to switch my http client
Thanks!

Yes I think you can do that with Finch. I used it in the past for some project.
You can use Finch.build to prepare your request. I don’t know if this changed but basically this is how it worked for me :
Finch.build(
:post,
some_url(),
some_headers(),
the_body()
)
|> Finch.request(MyFinch)
- First we have the type of request as an atom.
some_url()return the request url asstring.some_headers()is a list of tuples. For example[{"Content-Type", "application/json"}, ...]the_body()is the data you want to send. I think it should beiodata. In my case I used a map that is converted toiodata. If I take your curl example it would look like below :
%{auth: "123abc", id: 1, var: "foo"}
|> Jason.encode_to_iodata!()
Edit:
The response for this request could be {:ok, %Finch.Response{body: body}} or {:error, message}
