6.19 File Uploads - Route Arguments - 《Micronaut v2.1.4 Documentation》

is the data type used to represent a chunk of data received in a multipart request. There are methods on the PartData interface to convert the data to a , , or a ByteBuffer.

Route arguments of type will be treated as only intended to receive a single file and each chunk of the received file will be sent downstream. If the generic type is something other than PartData, conversion will be attempted using Micronaut’s conversion service. Conversions to String and byte[] are supported by default.

If requirements dictate you must have knowledge about the metadata of the file being received, a special class called has been created that is a Publisher<PartData>, but also has file information like the content type and file name.

Whole Data Types

Route arguments that are not publishers will cause the route execution to be delayed until the upload has finished. The received data will attempt to be converted to the requested type. Conversions to a String or byte[] are supported by default. In addition, the file can be converted to a POJO if a media type codec has been registered that supports the media type of the file. A media type codec is included by default that allows conversion of JSON files to POJOs.

If requirements dictate you must have knowledge about the metadata of the file being received, a special class called CompletedFileUpload has been created that has methods to retrieve the data of the file, but also has file information like the content type and file name.
