marketcloud_file_upload.js

// Creating a new instance of the Marketcloud client
var client = new Marketcloud.Client({
	public_key: 'your-public-key'
})


// File uploads requires at least user authentication
client.users.authenticate('example@mail.com', 'somepassword')
	.then(function(response) {
		// Auth was successful the client stored the user's auth token

	})
	.catch(function(error) {
		// Something went wrong.
	})


// This function is bound to the change of the input field
function encode() {

	// The client has some util functions
	// The first param here is the selector for the <input type="file" id="file_input"/> element
	// The second the callback
	Marketcloud.Utils.base64EncodeFileInput('#file_input', function(b64) {
		client.files.create({
				name: 'some_filename',
				filename: 'filename.jpg',
				file: b64
			})
			.then(function(response) {
				//Upload was ok and response is a JSON object with the file information
			})
			.catch(function(error) {
				// Upload was not ok
			})
	});
