CS REST API: How do you upload a newer version of a file?

Jeff Wogan

If a file already exists, how do you upload a newer version of a file? Posting and Putting are giving me a 400 error.

Make a POST to .../nodes/{node_id}/versions with the file parameter containing the file content, using the multipart/form-data content type. For example:

var file = ..., // from a file input element. for example
    formData = new FormData();

formData.append('file', file);

$.ajax({
  url: '.../api/v1/nodes/12345/versions',
  type: 'POST',
  data: formData,
  processData: false,
  contentType: false
});

You will find the new version number in the response, is the upload succeeds. For example:

{
  "id": 12345,
  "version_number": 2
}
