Handling Filestream?

[kethan]

How do I handle file uploads and filestream?
How do I use cote with multer (https://www.npmjs.com/package/multer)?

Currently cote doesn't support file streams. See #59 for this. It's supported by the underlying engine axon, and therefore could be implemented, so help is needed on that one.

@kethan you could implement the file upload directly to s3 (or any other storage provider that you have) and use the uploaded file reference within your cote service. imo this is even better bc your server will not have to handle the file upload processing!

Oh, that's nice to hear.

Good suggestion. But, What if I have to convert the file or encrypt stream by stream?

Currently you can't. Closing this in favor of #59 .

You could still use AWS Lambdas for that easily (also, S3 already has built-in encryption system)! IMO it would even be the "correct" and "scalable" way to do such thing 😄
