Multipart Data Builder

MultipartDataBuilder is a micro framework for creating multipart data forms, used for uploading files over HTTP.

Usage

MultipartDataBuilder provides a simple API for building fields, and an extension on NSMutableURLRequest for attaching the built form and sets the required header.

Creating the multipart form:

var builder = MultipartDataBuilder()

Posting a file:

builder.appendFormData("image",
  content: image,
  fileName: "photo.jpg",
  contentType: "image/jpeg")

Adding other form data:

builder.appendFormData("filter", value: "sepia")

Building the form:

request.setMultipartBody(builder.build(), boundary: builder.boundary)

Install

Carthage

1. Add github "mogstad/multipart_data_builder" ~> 2.0 to your “Cartfile”
2. Run carthage update
3. Link MultipartDataBuilder with your target
4. Create a new “Copy files” build phases, set ”Destination” to ”Frameworks”, add MultipartDataBuilder

CocoaPods

Update your podfile:

1. Add use_frameworks! to your pod file¹
2. Add pod "MultipartDataBuilder", "~> 2.0" to your target
3. Update your dependencies by running pod install

Swift code can’t be included as a static library, therefor it’s required to add use_frameworks! to your podfile. It will then import your dependeices as dynamic frameworks.
