But the web view is going through the :browser pipeline, while the API is JSON.
If You want to send file to API, either You allow the Plug (but I cannot tell You how) or You use string base64 encoding (which is the way I took).
IIRC With formdata You can shape any data You want to send.

I’m sure this is too little too late, but in case anyone else has the same question, I think the best thing to do, if you need to save that file to S3 or a database, is to turn it into an upload plug. (Stole this from somewhere I can’t remember)
def get_plug(data) do
{:ok, binary} = Base.decode64(data)
with {:ok, path} <- Plug.Upload.random_file("upload"),
{:ok, file} <- File.open(path, [:write, :binary]),
:ok <- IO.binwrite(file, binary),
:ok <- File.close(file) do
{:ok, %Plug.Upload{path: path}}
end
end
That returns the struct you would have gotten had you uploaded a file directly via form-data (though it will be missing mimetype and filename).
