How to upload file using Laravel Guzzle HTTP client

Question

I'm using the Alfresco Rest API from a Laravel application!

To do so, I use the laravel guzzlehttp/guzzle package.

Below is my code.

When I run it, I get a status 400

The documentation of my endpoint can be found here: https://api-explorer.alfresco.com/api-explorer/#!/nodes/createNode


// AlfrescoService.php

namespace App\Services;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use Illuminate\Http\Client\Response;
use Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator;
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

class AlfrescoService
{
    public static function apiConnexion()
    {
        $response = Http::withHeaders([
            "Content-Type" => "application/json",
        ])->post('http://192.168.43.152:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/authentication/versions/1/tickets', [
            'userId' => 'admin',
            'password' => 'admin',
        ]);
    return  base64_encode( $response["entry"]["id"] );

    }

    public static function request2($queryType, String $query, array $data=[])
    {

        $response = Http::withHeaders([
            "Authorization" => "Basic ".self::apiConnexion(),
        ])->attach(
            'attachment', file_get_contents('alfresco/doc.txt'), 'doc.txt'
        )->$queryType('http://192.168.43.152:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1'.$query, $data);

        return $response;
    }


}



// AlfrescoController.php


namespace App\Http\Controllers;


use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Services\AlfrescoService;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use MercurySeries\Flashy\Flashy;

class AlfrescoController extends Controller
{

    public function storeFile(Request $request) {

        $data=["name"=>"My new File.txt", "nodeType"=>"cm:content"];
        $response=AlfrescoService::request2("post", "/nodes/-shared-/children", $data);

        dd($response->status()); // 400

    }

}

It will be helpful if you let us know what you want to do by API call. — mitpatoliya, Sep 22 '20 at 20:41

I dont understand why you have used $querytype but as you have asked in your heading "How to upload file using Laravel Guzzle HTTP client", so here is the answer for that,

public static function request2($queryType, String $query, array $data=[])
    {
        
        $file = fopen('alfresco/doc.txt', 'r')

        $response = Http::withToken(self::apiConnexion())
            ->attach('attachment', $file)
            ->post($url);

        return $response;
    }

You can see withToken() method in docs

The response should mention what precipitated the bad request. You may try wireshark to capture the upload attempt and compare it with the curl examples here
