You can prioritize this

@anjula-sack img-url is a property of profile. Shall I make it possible to update other profile data within the mentor update as well?

[Disura-Randunu]

@anjula-sack Also, since there's an image, it will be a form-data request. The issue is with type conversions specially with key-value pairs in the "application" property. those values will always be strings since we're passing them through a form data like below.

1. we could pass all the other data as a JSON value in the form and parse it in the backend
2. or we could convert in the backend but there will be multiple checks
3. or else make a seperate API call for the image upload and then use the returned string as the imageUrl in another request along with other data.
4. otherwise can just convert the image to base64 in fronend & convert it back but this is not ideal I think

I prefer the 1st one. what do you think?

[anjula-sack]

Yeah let's go with first option since it's more flexible and we probably will refactor how we are handling the applications. @Disura-Randunu

@anjula-sack what about the profile data other than image? Should they be updatable within mentor update?
