Quick Start:

var formPost = efp();

app.use(formPost.middleware());

Disk Storage:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var efp = require("express-form-post");
const formPost = efp({
	store: "disk",
	directory: path.join(__dirname, "tmp"),
	maxfileSize: 10000,
	filename: function(filename, fieldname, mimetype) {
		return Date.now() + '-' + filename;
	},
	validate: function(fieldname, filename, mimetype) {
		console.log(mimetype);
		if(mimetype != "application/pdf") {
			return false;
		}
	}
});

app.use(formPost.middleware(function(err) {
	console.log(err);
}));

Usage with S3:

var app = express();
var efp = require('express-form-post');
const formPost = efp({
	store: "aws-s3",
	maxfileSize: 100000,
	filename: function(filename, fieldname, mimetype) {
