What problem are you trying to solve?

Thanks for the insane work behind formidable, it really a life changer. I just wanted to know or ask if there is a feature planned to make the file available as Buffers like multer do, instead of having to read them, then make a buffer.

If there is already a way it would be great to have an exemple for achieving this, and I would be glad to do a PR to add it to the documentation. I've searched on existing issues and played a bit with fileWriteStreamHandler but with no success.

Thanks for your help and your valuable work.

Do you have a new or modified API suggestion to solve the problem?

Add a file.buffer or file.toBuffer method to the file/volatilefile object , or if this is already possible, snippet to the documentation.

Thanks.
