Downloading files uploaded in a single request

Vault
#1

We are considering using Vault to add file upload and download functionality to our web application. My question is: if multiple files are POSTed in a single request, is it possible to update the download links for each uploaded file in the response?

I tried the following sample, but it seems that downloads are not possible after uploading, which is why I’m asking this question.

Hello,

Yes, it is possible.

With singleRequest: true and updateFromResponse: true, Vault expects the server response to be a single JSON object where:

  • keys are the temporary file IDs sent from the client
  • values are objects with updated data for each file

Example:

{
    "1713955200000": {
        "link": "https://server.com/download/file_a.jpg",
        "status": "uploaded"
    },
    "1713955200001": {
        "link": "https://server.com/download/file_b.png",
        "status": "uploaded"
    }
}

Vault uses these IDs to update each file and apply the download links.
In the sample you’re referring to, the backend is not adapted for this format.
