Integration with busboy is a headache. Most existing solutions, to make things easier, save files to disk. This one keeps them in a buffer instead.
var app = require('express')();
app.use(require('BusboyMiddleware')());
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, { Connection: 'close' });
res.end('<html><head></head><body><form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">\
<input type="text" name="textfield"><br />\
<input type="file" name="filefield"><br />\
<input type="submit">\
</form></body></html>');
}
});
app.post('/', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.body.textfield);
console.log(req.files.filefield.name, req.files.filefield.data, req.files.filefield.mime);
});
var app = require('express')();
app.use(require('BusboyMiddleware')(function(req, file, cb) {
var customFilename = file.name.replace(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '') + (new Date().getTime());
uploadToS3(customFilename, file.data, function(err, ret) {
if (err) { cb(err); }
else { cb(null, { name: customFilename }); }
});
}));
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, { Connection: 'close' });
res.end('<html><head></head><body><form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">\
<input type="text" name="textfield"><br />\
<input type="file" name="filefield"><br />\
<input type="submit">\
</form></body></html>');
}
});
app.post('/', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.body.textfield);
console.log(req.files.filefield.name); // customFilename
});
