express-formidable-v2
This is Folk of express-formidable An Express middleware of
Formidable that just works.
What are Express, Formidable, and this?
Express is a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web
framework for Node.js.
Formidable is a Node.js module
for parsing form data, including multipart/form-data
file upload.
So, express-formidable
is something like a bridge between them,
specifically an Express middleware implementation of Formidable.
It aims to just work.
Install
npm install express-formidable-v2
How to use
const express = require('express');
const formidableMiddleware = require('express-formidablei-v2');
var app = express();
app.use(formidableMiddleware());
app.post('/upload', (req, res) => {
req.fields; // contains non-file fields
req.files; // contains files
});
And that's it.
express-formidable can basically parse form types Formidable can handle,
including application/x-www-form-urlencoded
, application/json
, and
multipart/form-data
.
Option
app.use(formidableMiddleware(opts));
opts
are options which can be set to form
in Formidable. For example:
app.use(formidableMiddleware({
encoding: 'utf-8',
uploadDir: '/my/dir',
multiples: true, // req.files to be arrays of files
});
For the detail, please refer to the
Formidable API.
Events
app.use(formidableMiddleware(opts, events));
events
is an array of json with two field:
Field | Description |
---|
event | The event emitted by the form of formidable. A complete list of all the possible events, please refer to the Formidable Events |
action | The callback to execute. The signature is function (req, res, next, ...formidable_parameters) |
For example:
const events = [
{
event: 'fileBegin',
action: function (req, res, next, name, file) { /* your callback */ }
},
{
event: 'field',
action: function (req, res, next, name, value) { /* your callback */ }
}
];
Error event
Unless an error
event are provided by the events
array parameter, it will handle by the standard next(error)
.
