Load blob into "Content-Type": "application/json"

[justinmakaila]

I'm trying to embed an image from the file system into a request to the Clarifai API. The API requires a base64 encoded data string embedded in a JSON object (spec here [switch it to cURL]).

For those who didn't click the link, the body should look like this:

{
  inputs: [
    {
      data: {
        image: { 
          base64: (base64 file contents)
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

What's the best way to achieve this? Poking through the iOS source, it appears the request is only built if it finds a wrapped file path at the top level of the body, or if it's embedded in a multipart request it must be located at the data key...

From my understanding, if the Content-Type is not octet/* or *;base64 the request body will be built as-is.

RNFetchblob.fetch('POST', url, {
  'Content-Type' : 'application/json'
}, JSON.stringify({
  inputs : [
    {
      data : { image : { base64 } }
    }
  ]
}))

Yeah but I'm not trying to load the base64 into the js context. I want it to happen in the native context.

It's possible but would be a very tricky way, like combining the use of fs.appendFile, fs.writeFile and set encoding to uri.

I think we can just propose a new API like fs.replace in 0.11.x

I think we can do it another way. I have a PR kind of thought out
