An Express middleware of Formidable that just works.

What are Express, Formidable, and this?

Express is a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.

Formidable is a Node.js module for parsing form data, including multipart/form-data file upload.

So, express-formidable is something like a bridge between them, specifically an Express middleware implementation of Formidable.

It aims to just work.

Install

npm install express-formidable

How to use

const express = require('express');
const formidable = require('express-formidable');

var app = express();

app.use(formidable());

app.post('/upload', (req, res) => {
  req.fields; // contains non-file fields
  req.files; // contains files
});

And that's it.

express-formidable can basically parse form types Formidable can handle, including application/x-www-form-urlencoded, application/json, and multipart/form-data.

Option

app.use(formidable(opts));

opts are options which can be set to form in Formidable. For example:

app.use(formidable({
  encoding: 'utf-8',
  uploadDir: '/my/dir',
  multiples: true, // req.files to be arrays of files
});

For the detail, please refer to the Formidable API.
