Remarks

Check out our graphical overview of the architecture which describes the basic use case flow for importing documents.

...

• Set-up yuuvis® API system (see minikube setup, for example Installation Guide)
• A user with at least read permissions on a document type in the system (see tutorial for permissions)

Project Requirements

In this tutorial, we are going to implement the yuuvis® API Import HTTP POST Request in JavaScript. Our Goal is to import documents using the yuuvis® API. For access to the yuuvis® API, make sure you provide credentials and a valid base URL to your script like this:

...

var singleFormData = new FormData()
var metadataBlob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(singleMetadata)],{type:"application/json"})
var contentBlob = new Blob([file],{type:"text/plain"})

singleFormData.append('data', metadataBlob, "metadata")
singleFormData.append('cid_63apple', contentBlob, "contentdata")

Assembling the Request

Now that we have created JSON representations for our content and metadata, we can assemble our multipart HTTP request object. We are going to go over some simple methods to accomplish this and give examples for both browser-based front-end and node.js-based back-end applications.

...

var multiFormData = new FormData()
          var metadataBlob = new Blob([JSON.stringify(singleMetadata)],{type:"application/json"})
          var contentBlob1 = new Blob([file],{type:"text/plain"})
          var contentBlob2 = new Blob([file2],{type:"text/plain"})


          multiFormData.append('data', metadataBlob, "metadata")
          multiFormData.append('cid_63apple', contentBlob1, "contentdata1")
          multiFormData.append('cid_64apple', contentBlob2, "contentdata2")

Assembling the Request

The multipart request JSON assembly is similar to the singular import. The same function executeRequest(request_object) can be used to send the request.
