Thanks for the video, it helped me a lot. Easily explained. I suggest adding an image compressor, something like
let imgData = image.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.2)!
where "image" is your UIImage :)

Great video, If I wanted to upload both a string file and an image to the web service would I just have to add another variable for it like with the dData. And Can I use this format to upload text field input and images selected by the user? Thanks!

[@RDLabswithRohant]

Hello dear, thats right. It will be an additional parameter to pass.

[@Nibbbbbbbba]

@@RDLabswithRohant Yeah, I got it to work myself but I think the image upload was very sloppy, but hey it works. Lol

[@romanalejandroromancanizal1639]

Very well explained ! I have a question, when you transform "oimage" to data with .pngData(), It shouldn't be a function for jpg ? like .jpgData() or something like that ? because the image extension is jpg. But I see that it worked anyway

[@RDLabswithRohant]

Hello Roman, thank you for reaching out to us.
Yes indeed, you may use the jpgdata() as well. pngdata() will also work likewise.

[@RDLabswithRohant]

Thats right. Those were early days with my Channel. Have bumped up the font in the later tutorials.

Can i get the Source Code file? Thank you!

[@RDLabswithRohant]

Hello Azka, Thank you for your support. I am afraid, I usually delete the source code after a month after the video is made.
