File uploader Module for Deployd

npm David Build Status

Check out this repo for a demo of this module.

Description

This module provides functionality to upload files within Deployd. The uploaded files will be stored in the public folder of Deployd and the filenames will be stored 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 deployd
$ npm install dpd-fileupload --save

Once installed, you can add a resource of type fileupload in the dashboard. Installaton

Development

$ git clone [email protected]:NicolasRitouet/dpd-fileupload.git
$ cd dpd-fileupload
$ npm install deployd
$ npm link

Configuration

By default, the module will create a folder called "upload" inside the public directory. You can then access your files by calling: http://localhost:2403/upload/filename.extension Directory structure

If you need to, you can change the name of the directory in the dashboard under CONFIG. Configuration

Usage

Upload a file (or multiple files)

Method POST or PUT (set content type to "multipart/form-data"), send "subdir" as request param to save the file in a sub directory. Any request parameter sent will be stored in the resource object.

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

Response of a successful upload:

[{
	filename: 'screenshot.png',
    subdir: "images",
    creationDate: 1389946339569,
    id: '2f4c752310e2bbae',
    filesize: '75148412',
    optionalParam:'foobar'
}, {
	filename: 'screenshot (1).png',
    subdir: "images",
    creationDate: 1389946339233,
    id: 'ef43f52310e2bbae',
    filesize: '85412',
    optionalParam:'foobar'
}, ...]

Get the list of files

Method GET

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

The response:

[{
	filename: 'screenshot.png',
    subdir: "images",
    creationDate: 1389946339569,
    id: '2f4c752310e2bbae',
    filesize: '75148412',
    optionalParam:'foobar'
}, {
	filename: 'screenshot (1).png',
    subdir: "images",
    creationDate: 1389946339233,
    id: 'ef43f52310e2bbae',
    filesize: '8441547',
    optionalParam:'foobar'
}, ...]

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.del(id, function(result, err) {
        if (err) alert(err);
        console.log(result);
    });

events

This module provides three custom events in the dashboard: get, upload, delete
They contains the following variables:

Example on dpd-fileupload-demo

authentication

Thanks to @Mortgy, we now have authentication within dpd-fileupload.
There's a new checkbox in the dashboard to configure the authorization. If you need your users to be logged-in to view, upload or delete the files, this checkbox is yours! If your users are logged-in with deployd, they'll have access to the resources.

  • Find a cleaner way to get the path of the upload directory
  • Implement GET of one file (stream file ?)
