How to get progress of uploading base64 image in Alamofire?

Question

It's there any way to post JSON with progress in alamofire? what I need to do I have JSON which has base64 image string and some other parameters while requesting JSON I need to show Progress to end user, so anyone has an idea how to do it in Alamofire?

I have followed the below link, but it gives me a syntax error in Alamofire?

Alamofire POST request with progress

    let parameters: [String: AnyObject] = ["key": "value" as AnyObject]
    let mutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(url: URL(string: "url goes here")!)
    mutableURLRequest.httpMethod = "POST"

    let encodedURLRequest = try! Alamofire.URLEncoding.default.encode(mutableURLRequest as! URLRequestConvertible, with: parameters)
    let data = encodedURLRequest.httpBody!

    Alamofire.upload(mutableURLRequest, data)
        .progress { _, totalBytesRead, totalBytesExpectedToRead in
            print("ENTER .PROGRESSS")
            print("\(totalBytesRead) of \(totalBytesExpectedToRead)")
        }
        .responseJSON { _, _, mydata, _ in
            print(mydata)
    }

It gives me below error

Cannot invoke 'upload' with an argument list of type '(NSMutableURLRequet, Data)

What kind of syntax error are you getting? – rodskagg Oct 09 '18 at 07:17 — rodskagg, Oct 09 '18 at 07:17

As you have pointed out that you can use the Alamofire to upload the file or image without converting it Base64 , using MultipartFormData and track the progress. Incase any syntax error you can tell us more about it or return back to the documentation.

You can use below code if you want to show progress hud:

 let binaryImageData = base64EncodeImage(image)
 SVProgressHUD.show() //use any progress hud
  let parameters : [String:Any] = [
            "Name" : "UserProfilePhoto",
            "Body": binaryImageData,
            "parentId": userId

   ]
   let header = ["content-type" : "application/json", "Authorization": "your token here"]
   var imageURL: URL {
            return URL(string: "Your UrlString here")
        }
   Alamofire.request(imageURL, method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: header).responseJSON {
            response in

            if (response.result.isSuccess){
                SVProgressHUD.dismiss()
                let result = response.result.value as? NSDictionary
            }
            else{
                SVProgressHUD.dismiss()
            }
        }
    }

Don't use `NSDictionary` in Swift – Ashley Mills Oct 09 '18 at 07:55
its an example. In my case it was dictionary. – kdhingra7 Oct 09 '18 at 07:58
Thanks, but I need to show progress which defines how much progress is left. – Nics Oct 09 '18 at 08:05
