Usage

After having it running, you can send an http request using any client, or just access the docs to send the request on http://localhost:8080/docs

The request example using javascript's fetch api

const fs = require("fs");
const FormData = require("form-data");
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const formData = new FormData();

formData.append("file", fs.createReadStream("/path/to/the/image.png"));

let options = {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001",
  },
};

options.body = formData;

fetch("http://localhost:8080/process-image", options)
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((json) => console.log(json))
  .catch((err) => console.error("error:" + err));
