api post request with an image with an orm in javascript

To make a Post request in JavaScript with an image using an ORM, we can use the Fetch API along with FormData. Here's an example code snippet that uses the Sequelize ORM to make a Post request to an API with an image:

index.tsx
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const FormData = require("form-data");
const { Sequelize, DataTypes } = require("sequelize");

// create Sequelize object and define model
const sequelize = new Sequelize("database", "username", "password", {
  dialect: "mysql",
});
const Image = sequelize.define("Image", {
  name: {
    type: DataTypes.STRING,
  },
  image: {
    type: DataTypes.BLOB,
  },
});

// create FormData object and set fields to be sent in the request
const form = new FormData();
form.append("name", "image-name");
form.append("image", fs.createReadStream("path/to/image"));

// make the post request using fetch
fetch("https://example.com/api/images", {
  method: "POST",
  body: form,
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
  },
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

// save the image to the database using the ORM
sequelize.sync().then(() => {
  const newImage = Image.create({
    name: "image-name",
    image: fs.readFileSync("path/to/image"),
  });
});

In this example, we create a Sequelize object and define a model called Image with two fields: name and image. We then create a FormData object and append the fields and image to be sent in the Post request. We use the fetch function to make the Post request with the FormData object as the body and the "Content-Type" header set to "multipart/form-data". Finally, we save the image to the database using the ORM.
