README

koa-busboy

A koa's middleware for handling multipart form. Note that, this middleware supports Koa v2 only.

Installation

$ npm i -S koa-busboy

Usage

koa-busboy will adds all text fields to ctx.request.body object and uploaded files to ctx.request.files array.

To create middleware, simply call the module function with custom config options as following:

const busboy = require('koa-busboy')
const uploader = busboy(options)

While, options is same as original busboy module.

However, you can specify the following options also.

  • dest - string - The folder to save uploaded files (Default: system temp folder - os.tmpdir()).

  • fnDestFilename - function - The function that defines the final filename which saved on dest folder. The fnDestFilename(fieldname, filename) function will return the name of file which be saved on disk. While fieldname is your uploaded field's name and filename is your uploaded file's name. (Default: (fieldname, filename) => Date.now() + fieldname + filename)

Example

const busboy = require('koa-busboy')
const koaRouter = require('koa-router')

const uploader = busboy({
  dest: './upload' // default is system temp folder (`os.tmpdir()`)
  fnDestFilename: (fieldname, filename) => uuid() + filename
})
const router = koaRouter()

router.post('/upload', uploader, async ctx => {
  // fields
  // text fields is add to ctx.request.body object
  let { name } = ctx.request.body
  // files
  // uploaded files is add to ctx.request.files array
  let fileReadStream = ctx.request.files[0]
})
