thingdom / connect-form

Fork of now-gone urlencoded/multipart form parsing middleware for Connect.

Connect Form

Connect Form is a multipart / urlencoded form parsing middleware utilizing node-formidable behind the scenes.

This module is now deprecated and will eventually be removed, Connect >= 1.8.0 bodyParser() supports multipart/form-data, populating req.body much like application/json. An alternative to the core's bodyParser() is parted.

This module has indeed disappeared upstream. This fork preserves it since our app still relies on it. (We'll upgrade soon enough.)

Installation

via npm:

$ npm install https://github.com/thingdom/connect-form/tarball/master

Example

var form = require('connect-form');
var server = connect.createServer(
    form({ keepExtensions: true }),
    function(req, res, next){
	    // Form was submitted
        if (req.form) {
	        // Do something when parsing is finished
	        // and respond, or respond immediately
	        // and work with the files.
            req.form.complete(function(err, fields, files){
                res.writeHead(200, {});
                if (err) res.write(JSON.stringify(err.message));
                res.write(JSON.stringify(fields));
                res.write(JSON.stringify(files));
                res.end();
            });
        // Regular request, pass to next middleware
        } else {
            next();
        }
    }
);
