Hello,
How can I pick an image, and then upload it to appwrite without saving it?

https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker Is this something you are looking for?

yes, but i have to save the imahe ig?

I didn't understand what do you mean by saving ? This package picks the image from your gallery

yes, but when i want to upload it to appwrite i have to pass the path and for that I have to save it right?

save what actually? If i am right the image is already in the gallery right?

ah bruh

did like that but got an error:
Future _getImage() async {
final ImagePicker picker = ImagePicker();
final XFile? image = await picker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
final storage = Storage(db());
final file = await storage.createFile(
bucketId: '650fe518eed83eab7514',
fileId: ID.unique(),
file: InputFile.fromPath(path: image!.path.toString(), filename: User.name().toString() + '.jpg'),
);```
}

seems like you cannot pass the path from Flutter Web use this instead https://pub.dev/documentation/appwrite/latest/appwrite/InputFile/InputFile.fromBytes.html In this way you are passing bytes instead of path XFile also has a property of getting the byte data for that file as well

https://appwrite.io/docs/products/storage/upload-download#create-file
It's also mentioned in the docs to use .fromBytes
instead of fromPath
in Flutter Web

like that?
Future _getImage() async {
final ImagePicker picker = ImagePicker();
final XFile? image = await picker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);
final storage = Storage(db());
final Uint8List bytes = image?.readAsBytes() as Uint8List;
final file = await storage.createFile(
bucketId: '650fe518eed83eab7514',
fileId: ID.unique(),
file: InputFile.fromBytes(bytes: bytes, filename: "image.jpg"),
);
}```

yess, but AFAIK readAsBytes()
is an async Function so you might wanna await
here


works thx

can you also tell me, how i can show an image from the storage without downloading it?


most of the time, you should not call toString()
to solve the problem of something requiring a string. by doing that, you're probably incorrectly coercing the input

plesae make sure to format stuff like this as multiline code so it's easier to read
