Is Multer 2.0 still alive? #1011
Comments
What are the alternatives? Thanks. |
Good question, currently I've made a fork/patched version of Multer due to incompatibility with Node.js 16.x.x (#995). |
@pubmikeb, thanks for the response. It looks like last change on the RC was done ~1,25 years ago: |
Yes, you're right and that's pity. It used to be a good project but now it doesn't support Node.js 16.x+ |
The alternatives are, in no particular order:
These are the packages with 100k+ weekly downloads on npm; there may be other, less active, ones available. FWIW I'm tempted to go with the 3rd option. |
I would go with Generally, in case an external storage is used (e.g. Dropbox, AWS, etc.), it is better to use a native API of a storage service and forward an uploading stream directly to the storage, without proxying it through the application server to save RAM, CPU, and traffic. No storage API access token exposure required. |
This project has a very convenient Native async/await support would be good though. |
Are you talking about BTW, |
I just published rc.3 with support for Node.js 16 🚀 Read more about it here: #399 (comment) Also, I will close this with the answer "yes", but feel free to ask me any more specific questions and I shall answer! |
Multer has been shifted to the 2.0.0 RC2 since March 2020.
Nowadays it's June 2021, but no RC3/RTM is released.
Moreover, Multer is not compatible with the latest official version of Node.js (16.x.x) anymore.
The question, is Multer project still alive, or should we be switching to alternative solutions?
Thanks.
