multiparty
Parse http requests with content-type multipart/form-data
, also known as file uploads.
See also busboy - a faster alternative which may be worth looking into.
Installation
This is a Node.js module available through the
npm registry. Installation is done using the
npm install
command:
npm install multiparty
Usage
- See examples.
Parse an incoming multipart/form-data
request.
var multiparty = require('multiparty');
var http = require('http');
var util = require('util');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
if (req.url === '/upload' && req.method === 'POST') {
// parse a file upload
var form = new multiparty.Form();
form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
res.writeHead(200, {'content-type': 'text/plain'});
res.write('received upload:\n\n');
res.end(util.inspect({fields: fields, files: files}));
});
return;
}
// show a file upload form
res.writeHead(200, {'content-type': 'text/html'});
res.end(
'<form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">'+
'<input type="text" name="title"><br>'+
'<input type="file" name="upload" multiple="multiple"><br>'+
'<input type="submit" value="Upload">'+
'</form>'
);
}).listen(8080);
API
multiparty.Form
var form = new multiparty.Form(options)
Creates a new form. Options:
encoding
- sets encoding for the incoming form fields. Defaults toutf8
.maxFieldsSize
- Limits the amount of memory all fields (not files) can allocate in bytes. If this value is exceeded, anerror
event is emitted. The default size is 2MB.maxFields
- Limits the number of fields that will be parsed before emitting anerror
event. A file counts as a field in this case. Defaults to 1000.maxFilesSize
- Only relevant whenautoFiles
istrue
. Limits the total bytes accepted for all files combined. If this value is exceeded, anerror
event is emitted. The default isInfinity
.autoFields
- Enablesfield
events and disablespart
events for fields. This is automatically set totrue
if you add afield
listener.autoFiles
- Enablesfile
events and disablespart
events for files. This is automatically set totrue
if you add afile
listener.uploadDir
- Only relevant whenautoFiles
istrue
. The directory for placing file uploads in. You can move them later usingfs.rename()
. Defaults toos.tmpdir()
.
form.parse(request, [cb])
Parses an incoming node.js request
containing form data.This will cause
form
to emit events based off the incoming request.
var count = 0;
var form = new multiparty.Form();
// Errors may be emitted
// Note that if you are listening to 'part' events, the same error may be
// emitted from the `form` and the `part`.
form.on('error', function(err) {
console.log('Error parsing form: ' + err.stack);
});
// Parts are emitted when parsing the form
form.on('part', function(part) {
// You *must* act on the part by reading it
// NOTE: if you want to ignore it, just call "part.resume()"
if (!part.filename) {
// filename is not defined when this is a field and not a file
console.log('got field named ' + part.name);
// ignore field's content
part.resume();
}
if (part.filename) {
// filename is defined when this is a file
count++;
console.log('got file named ' + part.name);
// ignore file's content here
part.resume();
}
part.on('error', function(err) {
// decide what to do
});
});
// Close emitted after form parsed
form.on('close', function() {
console.log('Upload completed!');
res.setHeader('text/plain');
res.end('Received ' + count + ' files');
});
// Parse req
form.parse(req);
If cb
is provided, autoFields
and autoFiles
are set to true
and all
fields and files are collected and passed to the callback, removing the need to
listen to any events on form
. This is for convenience when you want to read
everything, but be sure to write cleanup code, as this will write all uploaded
files to the disk, even ones you may not be interested in.
form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
Object.keys(fields).forEach(function(name) {
console.log('got field named ' + name);
});
Object.keys(files).forEach(function(name) {
console.log('got file named ' + name);
});
console.log('Upload completed!');
res.setHeader('text/plain');
res.end('Received ' + files.length + ' files');
});
fields
is an object where the property names are field names and the values
are arrays of field values.
files
is an object where the property names are field names and the values
are arrays of file objects.
form.bytesReceived
The amount of bytes received for this form so far.
form.bytesExpected
The expected number of bytes in this form.
Events
'error' (err)
Unless you supply a callback to form.parse
, you definitely want to handle
this event. Otherwise your server will crash when users submit bogus
multipart requests!
Only one 'error' event can ever be emitted, and if an 'error' event is emitted, then 'close' will not be emitted.
If the error would correspond to a certain HTTP response code, the err
object
will have a statusCode
property with the value of the suggested HTTP response
code to send back.
Note that an 'error' event will be emitted both from the form
and from the
current part
.
'part' (part)
Emitted when a part is encountered in the request. part
is a
ReadableStream
. It also has the following properties:
headers
- the headers for this part. For example, you may be interested incontent-type
.name
- the field name for this partfilename
- only if the part is an incoming filebyteOffset
- the byte offset of this part in the request bodybyteCount
- assuming that this is the last part in the request, this is the size of this part in bytes. You could use this, for example, to set theContent-Length
header if uploading to S3. If the part had aContent-Length
header then that value is used here instead.
Parts for fields are not emitted when autoFields
is on, and likewise parts
for files are not emitted when autoFiles
is on.
part
emits 'error' events! Make sure you handle them.
'aborted'
Emitted when the request is aborted. This event will be followed shortly
by an error
event. In practice you do not need to handle this event.
'progress' (bytesReceived, bytesExpected)
'close'
Emitted after all parts have been parsed and emitted. Not emitted if an error
event is emitted.
If you have autoFiles
on, this is not fired until all the data has been
flushed to disk and the file handles have been closed.
This is typically when you would send your response.
'file' (name, file)
By default multiparty will not touch your hard drive. But if you add this
listener, multiparty automatically sets form.autoFiles
to true
and will
stream uploads to disk for you.
The max bytes accepted per request can be specified with maxFilesSize
.
name
- the field name for this filefile
- an object with these properties:fieldName
- same asname
- the field name for this fileoriginalFilename
- the filename that the user reports for the filepath
- the absolute path of the uploaded file on diskheaders
- the HTTP headers that were sent along with this filesize
- size of the file in bytes
'field' (name, value)
name
- field namevalue
- string field value
