What is @types/formidable?

@types/formidable provides TypeScript type definitions for the formidable package, which is used for parsing form data, especially file uploads.

What are @types/formidable's main functionalities?

Parsing Form Data

This feature allows you to parse incoming form data, including file uploads. The `form.parse` method takes a request object and a callback function that handles the parsed fields and files.

const formidable = require('formidable');
const form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('Fields:', fields);
  console.log('Files:', files);
});

Handling File Uploads

This feature allows you to handle file uploads by specifying an upload directory. The `uploadDir` property sets the directory where uploaded files will be stored.

const formidable = require('formidable');
const form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
form.uploadDir = '/path/to/upload/directory';
form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('Uploaded files:', files);
});

Customizing File Uploads

This feature allows you to customize the file upload process. The `fileBegin` event is triggered when a file upload starts, allowing you to set a custom file path.

const formidable = require('formidable');
const form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
form.on('fileBegin', (name, file) => {
  file.path = '/custom/path/' + file.name;
});
form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('Custom file path:', files);
});
