Feature request

Be able to upload via server side as mentioned here supabase/supabase#1002

Hi @IHIutch, we are going to be working on this for the next storage milestone. Transferring the issue to our storage-js repo

[IHIutch]

Awesome! Any ideas on an ETA?

Around 30 days away. In the meantime you can interact with our backend API directly.

Rock on, you guys are great. Thanks!

Some options off the top of my head

• Right now storage-js uses FormData which is present in the browser, but not in Node.js. I don’t want to add a polyfill for that since it increases the bundle size
• We could have a separate API call in storage-api which takes in a Blob or Buffer or Stream and call that API in Node environments probably.
• I am not sure how S3 does it - cos I think upload to S3 works from both the browser and the server. So probably worth exploring that.

We can create separate bundles for Node.js and Browser and as long as we don’t have the FormData polyfill in the browser bundle, we should be okay cos the bundle sizes in Node doesn’t matter much. But again not sure how other environments like Flutter, React Native, etc would map to them

This would be amazing for all of my use cases!

I'm parsing a Multipart file upload request from the browser on the Server and end up with a Buffer / Stream, if I could just POST that to Supabase Storage API that would be SO ergonomic.

Hi @danalloway, I have a PR for this - supabase/storage#29. Check out the example there where you can directly send a stream or a Buffer to the backend.

Does that work for you?

ArrayBuffer, ArrayBufferView, Blob, Buffer, File, FormData, NodeJS.ReadableStream, ReadableStream<Uint8Array>, URLSearchParams and string are now supported by from.upload() and from.update().

It would be super helpful to reference this in the docs : )
