Spring-Boot-FIle-Upload-Rest-Service

• Implement a Restful API in spring-boot application • API to upload a file with a few meta-data fields. • Persist meta-data in persistent store (In memory DB or file system and store the content on a file system).

The Spring boot file upload service

1. It can upload single / multiple files as a rest post call
2. The uploaded files meta data will be persisted in H2 in memory database
3. Get the uploaded files meta data using a get call

How to test this service

1. Using CURL Single file upload curl -F file=@"c:\tmp\test1.txt" http://localhost:8383/api/fileupload

Multiple file upload curl -F files=@"c:\tmp\test2.txt" -F files=@"c:\tmp\test3.txt" http://localhost:8383/api/upload/multiplefiles

Get uploaded files meta data, with output in JSON curl http://localhost:8383/getFileUploadMetaData [{ "name": "test1.txt", "contentType": "text/plain", "contentSize": 15 }, { "name": "test2.txt", "contentType": "text/plain", "contentSize": 15 }]

2. Using rest client (Google chrome plugins - Postman, Advanced Rest Client) Single file upload http://localhost:8383/api/fileupload Request : POST Attach file to upload with name as 'file' and its attachment content-type will be auto detected, no need to mention

Multi file upload http://localhost:8383/api/upload/multiplefiles Request : POST Attach multiple files and name them as 'files' content-type will be auto detected, no need to mention

Get uploaded files meta data, with output in JSON curl http://localhost:8383/getFileUploadMetaData Request : GET [{ "name": "test1.txt", "contentType": "text/plain", "contentSize": 15 }, { "name": "test2.txt", "contentType": "text/plain", "contentSize": 15 }] Room for improvement

1. More user-friendly exception handling for more scenarios
2. Make it as a microservice for other services to use (enable CORS) List goes on .....
