parted

Parted is a streaming multipart, json, and urlencoded parser for node.js, written from scratch. It comes bundled with an express middleware which will use the necessary parser depending on the request mime type. Each parser is also lazily loaded, so there is no unnecessary memory usage if you only need one of them.

The middleware will leave you with a req.body object, similar to the default body parser included in express. If a file was included with a multipart request, a temporary path to the uploaded file is provided in req.body.

Install

$ npm install parted

As a middleware

var parted = require('parted');

app.use(parted({
  path: __dirname + '/uploads', // custom file path
  encodedLimit: 30 * 1024,
  jsonLimit: 30 * 1024,
  mutlipartLimit: 30 * 1024 * 1024
}));

Usage

The multipart parser alone

var parted = require('parted');

var parser = new parted.multipart(type, options)
  , parts = {};

parser.on('error', function(err) {
  req.destroy();
  next(err);
});

parser.on('part', function(field, part) {
  // temporary path or string
  parts[field] = part;
});

parser.on('data', function(bytes) {
  console.log('%d bytes written.', this.written);
});

parser.on('end', function() {
  console.log(parts);
});

req.pipe(parser);
