formData issue

[Akwasititus]

The name 'FormData' is defined in the libraries 'package:dio/src/form_data.dart (via package:dio/dio.dart)' and 'package:get/get_connect/http/src/multipart/form_data.dart'.
Try using 'as prefix' for one of the import directives, or hiding the name from all but one of the imports.

Hi sir, this is a sample form-data i am trying to send.

var formData = FormData.fromMap({
'name': 'John Doe',
'email': '[email protected]',
'file': await MultipartFile.fromFile('/path/to/file.jpg'),
});

the error is coming from "FormData" and "MultipartFile" and it says

"The name 'FormData' is defined in the libraries 'package:dio/src/form_data.dart (via 'package:dio/dio.dart' and 'package:dio/dio.dart')' and 'package:get/get_connect/http/src/multipart/form_data.dart'.

solutions tried............

import 'package:dio/dio.dart' as prefix;
import 'package:dio/dio.dart';

i am not sure if i am doing the right thing. please help me.

Just do what the message says, this is not related to dio but basic Dart.

import 'package:dio/dio.dart' as dio;
import 'package:get/get.dart';

var formData = dio.FormData.fromMap({
'name': 'John Doe',
'email': '[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])',
'file': await dio.MultipartFile.fromFile('/path/to/file.jpg'),
});

or

import 'package:dio/dio.dart';
import 'package:get/get.dart' hide FormData, MultipartFile;

var formData = FormData.fromMap({
'name': 'John Doe',
'email': '[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])',
'file': await MultipartFile.fromFile('/path/to/file.jpg'),
});

Thank you, sir, your solutions really helped me.

please is there a way i can send the form-data post request using the http package instead of the dio on pub.dev.

You should probably not ask this in a dio discussion but somewhere in the http package.

Thank you, sir. I appreciate your concern.
