Convert MultipartFile to XFile or Unit8List in Flutter?

Question

I need to compress images in a layer of my app, however, in this layer I only have access to MultipartFile of that image so I need to convert it to XFile or Unit8List so I can do this in Web as well as mobile.

Answer 1

try this:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

Future<XFile> multipartFileToXFile(http.MultipartFile file) async {
  final bytes = await multiPartFile.finalize().expand((element) => element).toList();

  final xFile = XFile.fromData(bytes, name: file.filename ?? "unknown_file");
  return xFile;
}
