File upload feature in explorer (nice to have)

[adnanshatil]

We can create API for file upload and download. But there is no way to test it from explorer.
It'd be nice to have that feature.

Right now there is an example with angular but that requires some work.

Sorry, if it is already duplicated.

There seems to be a dataType in the newest swagger-ui for file, so this shouldn't be too difficult.

👍

There is a catch though: at the moment, we don't have a good way how to say that a remote method accepts/returns a file. We need to improve strong-remoting to support files - see strongloop/strong-remoting#35

+1 Awaiting support for this in loopback. Is it already done?

+1 for this to get implemented. If we use API explorer as an example of how to use our API's, we should be able to demonstrate file upload as well.
