Upload image file to server in iOS.

In this tutorial we will upload the image as a file to JSON server .
For uploading image as a file we use multipart form as our content type .

Now jumping straightforward to our code .

Step 1 :  Add AFNetworking framework to your project .

               How to add AFNetworking to your project ?
               Visit my previous post on AFNetworking .



Step 2:   Import AFNetworking to your project.

             #import <AFNetworking/AFNetworking.h>




Step 3:   Add the following code in viewDidLoad to upload image as a file :

	UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"joker.png"]; // name of the image
	NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image); // convert your image into data
	NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"YOUR URL"]; // enter your url to upload
	AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager]; // allocate AFHTTPManager
	[manager POST:urlString parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) { // POST DATA USING MULTIPART CONTENT TYPE
	[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData
	name:@"yourParameter"
	fileName:@"image.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"]; // add image to formData
	[formData appendPartWithFormData:[@"sdsd" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
	name:@"key1"]; // add your other keys !!!
	} progress:nil success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
	NSLog(@"Response: %@", responseObject); // Get response from the server
	} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
	NSLog(@"Error: %@", error); // Gives Error
	}];
