I have used Image Cropper in my Angular project for cropping images before uploading. Some parts of my code are: component.ts

.
.
.

croppedImage: any = '';
.
.
.
imageCropped(event: ImageCroppedEvent) {
  this.croppedImage = event.base64;
}
.
.
Base64ToFile(url: any, filename: any, mimeType: any){
    return (fetch(url)
            .then(function(res){return res.arrayBuffer();})
            .then(function(buf){return new File([buf], filename,{type:mimeType});})
        );
  }

 OnSubmit() {
    const filedata = new FormData();
    this.Base64ToFile(this.croppedImage, "myphoto.png", "image/png").then(function(outputFile){
      
      console.log(outputFile);
      filedata.append("file", outputFile, outputFile.name);//The first parameter "file" is the input parameter in API method
    });
    this.http.post('https://localhost:5001/api/featuredpost/postimage/'   this.selectedPostId, filedata).subscribe(
      response => {
        console.log(response);
      }
    );
  }

API action:

public async Task<IActionResult> PostImage([FromForm] IFormFile file, [FromRoute] int id){
.
.
.
}

The problem is that when I debug my API, the input file parameter is null while cropped image has a base64 text value. How can I fix it?

CodePudding user response：

this.http.post needs to be in a .then(...) of the this.Base64ToFile(..) call

You're not waiting for the async fetch to complete before the API post
