What is parse-multipart-data?

The parse-multipart-data npm package is used to parse multipart/form-data, which is commonly used for file uploads in web applications. It allows you to extract files and fields from multipart form data.

What are parse-multipart-data's main functionalities?

Parsing Multipart Data

This feature allows you to parse multipart form data. The code sample demonstrates how to parse a multipart body with a boundary string, extracting both a text field and a file.

const { parse } = require('parse-multipart-data');

const boundary = '----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW';
const body = Buffer.from('--' + boundary + '\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="field1"\r\n\r\nvalue1\r\n--' + boundary + '\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="example.txt"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\nHello, World!\r\n--' + boundary + '--');

const parts = parse(body, boundary);
console.log(parts);

Extracting Files

This feature allows you to extract files from the parsed multipart data. The code sample demonstrates how to find and extract a file named 'example.txt' from the multipart body.

const { parse } = require('parse-multipart-data');

const boundary = '----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW';
const body = Buffer.from('--' + boundary + '\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file1"; filename="example.txt"\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\nHello, World!\r\n--' + boundary + '--');

const parts = parse(body, boundary);
const file = parts.find(part => part.filename === 'example.txt');
console.log(file);

Extracting Fields

This feature allows you to extract fields from the parsed multipart data. The code sample demonstrates how to find and extract a field named 'field1' from the multipart body.

const { parse } = require('parse-multipart-data');

const boundary = '----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW';
const body = Buffer.from('--' + boundary + '\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="field1"\r\n\r\nvalue1\r\n--' + boundary + '--');

const parts = parse(body, boundary);
const field = parts.find(part => part.name === 'field1');
console.log(field);
