How do I handle form data in aiohttp responses

Question

I'm looking to get the multipart form data and turn it into a dictionary. Easy enough for json, but this seems to be a bit different.

Current code:

app = web.Application()

async def deploy(request):
    # retrieve multipart form data or
    # x-www-form-urlencoded data
    # convert to a dictionary if not already
    text = "Hello"
    return web.Response(text=text)
app.router.add_post('/', deploy)

web.run_app(app)

Answer 1

You can use the request.post() method.

app = web.Application()

async def deploy(request):
    # retrieve multipart form data or
    # x-www-form-urlencoded data
    data = await request.post()
    print(data)
    text = "Hello"
    return web.Response(text=text)

app.router.add_post('/', deploy)

web.run_app(app)
