uppy-server

Uppy-server is a server integration for Uppy file uploader.

It handles the server-to-server communication between your server and file storage providers such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, etc. See here for full documentation

Install

npm install uppy-server

Usage

Uppy-server may either be used as pluggable express app, which you plug to your already existing server, or it may simply be run as a standalone server:

Plug to already existing server

var express = require('express')
var bodyParser = require('body-parser')
var session = require('express-session')
var uppy = require('uppy-server')

var app = express()
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use(session({secret: 'some secrety secret'}))
...
// be sure to place this anywhere after app.use(bodyParser.json()) and app.use(session({...})
const options = {
  providerOptions: {
    google: {
      key: 'GOOGLE_KEY',
      secret: 'GOOGLE_SECRET'
    }
  },
  server: {
    host: 'localhost:3020',
    protocol: 'http',
  },
  filePath: '/path/to/folder/'
}

app.use(uppy.app(options))

To enable uppy socket for realtime feed to the client while upload is going on, you call the socket method like so.

...
var server = app.listen(PORT)

uppy.socket(server, options)
