I am trying to POST a file along with other form data to my laravel API, I have the exact same code as https://stackoverflow.com/a/25264008

But my Laravel API is not receiving any file at all. However, when I test my API with Postman, it works perfectly.

EDIT (this is the partial code in my laravel API):

$file = $request->file('coverphoto');
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileName = bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(8)).'.'.$extension;
$file->move('uploads', $fileName);
$myobj->cover = $fileName;
...
$myobj->save();

Gearbox

What happens if you check in your Networks tab in console ? – Sulthan Allaudeen Jan 13 '16 at 18:38
I get status 200 from my API, like usual... – Gearbox Jan 14 '16 at 07:38
Not sure if this information is useful to you - when the file is selected, I get this in `Network`: `data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4QKzRXhp`... – Gearbox Jan 14 '16 at 07:44
How about response , it has any json in it ? – Sulthan Allaudeen Jan 14 '16 at 07:45
No extra json in my response... as expected, this is the correct behaviour – Gearbox Jan 14 '16 at 07:48
