You can build a JavaScript object this way, this will ensure passing the body to the request.

let form_data = {
      'name': $('#name').value(),
      'file': $('#img')[0].files[0]
    };

    $.ajax({
      url: "http://localhost:8000/api/image",
      type: "POST",
      data: form_data,
      enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
      processData: false, // tell jQuery not to process the data
      contentType: false   // tell jQuery not to set contentType
    })
    .done(function (data) {
      console.log(data);
    });
