Use custom API calls with "-- form" syntax

[davidcarayon]

Hello,

Thanks for a really great and useful package !

In the process of building an internal Shiny app that generate issues using GitLab's API though {gitlabr}, I needed to use a custom API call not provided by this package (file upload, detailed here). This API call has a --form argument which seems to not be supported by {gitlabr}.

Would it be possible to make this kind of API calls available though gitlab() ?

Many thanks in advance

If it could help, here is the equivalent query that we built with {httr2} :

httr2::request('https://<gitlab_server>/api/v4/projects/<project_id>/uploads') %>% 
        httr2::req_headers("Content-Type"="multipart/form-data", "PRIVATE-TOKEN" = Sys.getenv("MY_TOKEN")) %>%  
        httr2::req_body_multipart(file=curl::form_file(<path_to_img>)) %>%
        httr2::req_perform() %>% 
        httr2::resp_body_json()
