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

How to use

1const express = require('express');
2const formidableMiddleware = require('express-formidable');
3
4var app = express();
5
6app.use(formidableMiddleware());
7
8app.post('/upload', (req, res) => {
9  req.fields; // contains non-file fields
10  req.files; // contains files
11});

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

1app.use(formidableMiddleware(opts));

opts are options which can be set to form in Formidable. For example:

1app.use(formidableMiddleware({
2  encoding: 'utf-8',
3  uploadDir: '/my/dir',
4  multiples: true, // req.files to be arrays of files
5});

For the detail, please refer to the Formidable API.

Events

1app.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:

1const events = [
2  {
3    event: 'fileBegin',
4    action: function (req, res, next, name, file) { /* your callback */ }
5  }, 
6  {
7    event: 'field',
8    action: function (req, res, next, name, value) { /* your callback */ }
9  }
10];

Error event

Unless an error event are provided by the events array parameter, it will handle by the standard next(error).
