NodeJs fetch with file to Golang API

Question

I try to post via node-fetch to golang API files with some structure, I can make it from postman, but no way from NodeJS

Hi there. im at dead end, i had tried everything...

I need make a request to golang api, i can create it in Postman: its look like this: postman request

And I need to repeat it in NodeJs, But i always getted bad request from API

here is my code on Node

let formData = new FormData()
formData.append('postUUID', postUuid)
json.data.uploadIds.map((upl, index) => {
    let file = data.files.find(el => el == upl.filename)
    formData.append(upl.uuid, fs.readFileSync(file));
})
let headers = new Headers()
headers.append('Authorization', 'Bearer '+token)
headers.append("Accept", "application/json");
fetch(API+'/posts/uploadMediaFiles', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers,
    body: formData
})

Difference with postman generated code only in formdata.append("f2b07a43-f79f-4033-ab2d-bb3176934679", fileInput.files[0], "/file_0.jpg"); and i do instead of formData.append(upl.uuid, fs.readFileSync(file));

fs.readFileSync() returns either a string or a Buffer containing only the contents of the file itself. This means you're passing only the raw contents of the file to FormData.append(), which in turn means your call to fetch will treat the resulting key/value pair not as a file - this only happens when passing a value with a Blob or File type (MDN).

Instead, cast the contents of the read file as an Array to a new Blob object, then pass both the blob object and the name of the file you want to the FormData field (a quick tip of the cap to the answer on this SO question):

formData.append(upl.uuid, new Blob([fs.readFileSync(file)]), upl.filename);

in this case i get source.on('error', function() {}); ^ TypeError: source.on is not a function i tried to make JSON.stringify(new Blob([fs.readFileSync(file)])), but no way
