File uploader for Deployd

###This module is higly unstable, use it at your own risk.

Module for Deployd to upload files.
Upload the files to a local folder (currently in the public folder to access them) and store the filenames in a collection.

Don't hesitate to fill an issue if you find a bug or need a feature.

Installation

Go to the base directory of your Deployd project and enter:

npm install dpd-fileupload --save

Configuration

You have to create a directory in the "public" directory of your project (default is "upload") and set its name into the dashboard settings.

Usage

Upload a file

Method POST or PUT (set content type to "multipart/form-data"), send "subdir" as request param to save the file in a sub directory

Working demo available here: https://github.com/NicolasRitouet/dpd-fileupload-demo

Get the list of files

Method GET

dpd.fileupload.get(function(err, result) {
    console.log(result);
});

Get one file

Since we upload the files into the /public folder, you can access your files like this: http://localhost:2403/upload/subdir/filename.extension replace:

• upload by the folder your set in the dashboard
• subdir by the value you set for subdir. (nothing if you haven't given a subdir param)
• filename.extension by the name of the file your uploaded

If you would like more security and some rights management to get the files, fill an issue about this and I might work on this feature.

Remove a file from filesystem and from collection

Method DELETE

dpd.fileupload.delete(id, function(err, result) {
    if (err) alert(err);
    console.log(result);
});

Notes

Currently, you have to set the content type to "multipart/form-data".
GET of one item is planned. That would allow us to remove the upload directory from public and stream the files and increase security by adding some restrictions.

Todo

• add tests
• improve demo
• add optional creatorId property and optional comment property
• check if file already exist (upload anyway and put a (1) in the filename or throw an error?)
• Response after upload is returned too soon, uploaded file is not in the returned response (add a "remainingFile" integer)
• Find a cleaner way to get the path of the upload directory
• Implement GET of one file (stream file ?)
