Multi Rest v1.4

version v2.0 has a back compatibility with old version but prefered to update

Multi rest is a swiss knife for handling multi-part requests for restify , and as all nodejs framework is use http server at the end so I built this as if I'm dealing with http request, this module can handle diffrent file and process them.

Features:

- Path handler.
- File naming. 
- Upload more then one file in the same request. 
- Thumbnails for images & videos.
- S3 support for AWS.
- Upload certain extensions.

In progress

- Handling multiple files under the same fieldname.
- ......

Example for disk:

const restify = require('restify');
const Multi = require('multi-rest');

var server = restify.createServer();

var upload = new Multi({ 
					uploadDir: "./uploads/", 
					filename: 'random', 
					filefields: ['video'], 
					extensions: ['mp4'],
					thumbnail: {type: 'video'}, 
					used: 'maybe'});

server.use(restify.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.queryParser());
server.use(restify.bodyParser());
server.use(restify.CORS());

server.post('/upload', upload ,function (req, res, next){
	res.send({success: true, files: req.files, message: "file uploaded :)"});
});

server.listen(8080, function() {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

Example for s3:

check how to configure AWS-SDK for Nodejs

You need to create AWS credentials to ~/.aws/credentials

[default]

aws_access_key_id = your_access_key

aws_secret_access_key = your_secret_key

Test code:

const restify = require('restify');
const Multi = require('multi-rest');

var server = restify.createServer();

var upload = new Multi({driver: { type: 's3', 
						endpoint: 's3-accelerate.amazonaws.com', 
						signatureVersion: 'v4', 
						region: 'eu-central-1', 
						bucketName: 'bucketName'
					}, 
					uploadDir: "uploads/", 
					filename: 'random', 
					filefields: ['video'], 
					extensions: ['mp4'],
					thumbnail: {type: 'video'}, 
					used: 'maybe'});

server.use(restify.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.queryParser());
server.use(restify.bodyParser());
server.use(restify.CORS());

server.post('/upload', upload ,function (req, res, next){
	res.send({success: true, files: req.files, message: "file uploaded :)"});
});

server.listen(8080, function() {
  console.log('%s listening at %s', server.name, server.url);
});

File naming

Random

This use a uuid v4 library to create the file name

{ filename: 'random' }

Same name

This use the name of the uploaded file .

{ filename: 'same' }

Plus date

This will add after the name of the uploaded file the timestamp when the file uploaded.

{ filename: 'plus_date' }

Date

This use new Date() to create the file name (not prefeared when uploading more then one file)

{ filename: 'date' }
