multi-rest

Multi Rest v2

Multi rest is a swiss knife for handling multi-part requests for restify , and as all nodejs framework is use http server at the end so I built this as if I'm dealing with http request, this module can handle diffrent file and process them.

| version 2 is reveived huge update from the last version with the thumbnails for images and videos

Features:

- Path handler.
- File naming. 
- Upload more then one file in the same request. 
- Thumbnails for images & videos.
- S3 support for AWS.
- Upload certain extensions.

In progress

- Handling multiple files under the same fieldname.
- ......

Example for disk:

const restify = require('restify');
const Multi = require('multi-rest');

var server = restify.createServer();

var upload_disk = new Multi({  driver: {
									type: 'local',
									path: "./uploads/" 
								},	
								filename: (name) => { // the extention will be added automaticlly 
									return uuid.v4();
								}, 
							    filefields: {
							        video: {
							            type: 'video',
							            thumbnail: {
							            	width: 100,
							            	time: ['10%'],
							            	count: 1
							            },
							            required: false,
							            extensions: ['mp4']
							        },
							        image: {
							            type: 'picture',
							            thumbnail: {
							            	width: 400,
							            	height: 300
							            },
							            required: false,
							            extensions: ['png', 'jpg']
							        }
							    },
							});

server.use(restify.plugins.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.plugins.queryParser());
server.use(restify.plugins.bodyParser());

server.post('/upload', upload_disk ,function (req, res, next){
	res.send({success: true, files: req.files, message: "file uploaded :)"});
});

server.listen(8080, function() {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

Example for s3:

check how to configure AWS-SDK for Nodejs

You need to create AWS credentials to ~/.aws/credentials

[default]

aws_access_key_id = your_access_key

aws_secret_access_key = your_secret_key

Test code:

const restify = require('restify');
const Multi = require('multi-rest');

var server = restify.createServer();

var upload_s3 = new Multi({
						    driver: {
						        type: 's3',
						        endpoint: 's3-accelerate.amazonaws.com',
						        signatureVersion: 'v4',
						        region: 'eu-central-1',
						        bucketName: 'test',
						        path: ''
						    },
						    filename: (name) => { // the extention will be added automaticlly 
						        return uuid.v4();
						    },
						    filefields: {
						        video: {
						            type: 'video',
						            thumbnail: {
						                height: 100,
						                time: ['10%', '40%'],
						                count: 2
						            },
						            required: false,
						            extensions: ['mp4']
						        },
						        image: {
						            type: 'picture',
						            thumbnail: {
						                width: 400,
						                height: 300
						            },
						            required: false,
						            extensions: ['png', 'jpg']
						        }
						    },
						});

server.use(restify.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.queryParser());
server.use(restify.bodyParser());
server.use(restify.CORS());

server.post('/upload', upload ,function (req, res, next){
	res.send({success: true, files: req.files, message: "file uploaded :)"});
});

server.listen(8080, function() {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

File naming

Random

This use a uuid v4 library to create the file name

function (name) { 
    return uuid.v4();
}

Same name

This use the name of the uploaded file .

function (name) { 
    return name;
}

Plus date

This will add after the name of the uploaded file the timestamp when the file uploaded.

function (name) { 
    return name + new Date();
}

Date

This use new Date() to create the file name (not prefeared when uploading more then one file)

function (name) { 
    return new Date();
}
