Mixing
Uploading Files through Silverstripe 4 RestulServer Module
My app uses silverstripe to manage a large number of files for downloading/accessing them and some relational metadata.
One requirement is that the files be accessible externally via an API. I have set up the Restfulserver module (https://packagist.org/packages/silverstripe/restfulserver) to accomplish this.
And have extended the File model to allow restful access:
class FileExtension extends DataExtension
{
...
private static $api_access = true;
...
}
This lets me get and download a file with no problems using a GET:
silverstripe/public/api/v1/Silverstripe-Assets-File/(ID)
Which gives me the necessary data to hit the assets/{hash}/(fileName) and download the file.
But it doesn't seem to give me the means to POST a file. POSTing here simply creates the a File record but with no accompanying file in the assets folder. Manually dropping a file in the folder doesnj't work because it is not referenced by the record and does not have an associated Hash.
So how to I upload files without a page controller?

I don't know if therestfulservermodule supports file upload out-of-the-box. I think you need to create a custom controller action for this. You could set the default POST file endpoint as the route for your controller action. This way you keep your endpoint URIs consistent.
