Uploading Files With Next.js 14 Using Server Actions with Strapi 5

Let's learn how to upload files using server actions with Zod validation to Strapi 5.

The process involves making requests to an endpoint to upload files. Strapi 5 is a headless CMS that facilitates quick endpoint creation.

This video will cover simple and multi-part uploads, including error handling for file size and required fields using Zod.

Topics include:

- Implementing server-side validation using Zod to check for valid image files and required descriptions.

- The flow of data from the front-end form to the Strapi backend, including creating posts with uploaded images.

- The flexibility of a headless CMS allows users to manage uploads directly from a front-end application instead of the admin interface.

Key Points:
- Understanding File Uploads: I’ll explain the general concept of file uploading, where we make a request to an endpoint to send our files.

- Using Strapi: I’ll showcase how Strapi allows you to create endpoints swiftly and manage file uploads efficiently.

- Error Handling: Learn about basic error handling mechanisms to ensure that your file uploads are smooth and user-friendly.

- Multi-Part Uploads: I’ll demonstrate how to handle multi-part uploads, allowing users to submit additional data like descriptions alongside their images.

- Server-Side Validation: Understand the importance of validating file inputs on the server side to ensure data integrity.
