Simple express middleware for uploading files.
Please install version 1.1.10+ of this package to avoid a security vulnerability in Node/EJS related to JS prototype pollution. This vulnerability is only applicable if you have the parseNested
option set to true
(it is false
by default).
# With NPM
npm i express-fileupload
# With Yarn
yarn add express-fileupload
When you upload a file, the file will be accessible from req.files
.
Example:
<input name="foo" type="file" />
In your express server request, you can access your uploaded file from req.files.foo
:
app.post('/upload', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.files.foo); // the uploaded file object
});
The req.files.foo object will contain the following:
req.files.foo.name
: "car.jpg"req.files.foo.mv
: A function to move the file elsewhere on your server. Can take a callback or return a promise.req.files.foo.mimetype
: The mimetype of your filereq.files.foo.data
: A buffer representation of your file, returns empty buffer in case useTempFiles option was set to true.req.files.foo.tempFilePath
: A path to the temporary file in case useTempFiles option was set to true.req.files.foo.truncated
: A boolean that represents if the file is over the size limitreq.files.foo.size
: Uploaded size in bytesreq.files.foo.md5
: MD5 checksum of the uploaded fileNotes about breaking changes with MD5 handling:
md5
is an MD5 checksum of the uploaded file.md5
is a function to compute an MD5 hash (Read about it here.).md5
is reverted back to MD5 checksum value and also added full MD5 support in case you are using temporary files.Pass in Busboy options directly to the express-fileupload middleware. Check out the Busboy documentation here.
app.use(fileUpload({
limits: { fileSize: 50 * 1024 * 1024 },
}));
Use temp files instead of memory for managing the upload process.
// Note that this option available for versions 1.0.0 and newer.
app.use(fileUpload({
useTempFiles : true,
tempFileDir : '/tmp/'
}));
You can set debug
option to true
to see some logging about upload process.
In this case middleware uses console.log
and adds Express-file-upload
prefix for outputs.
It will show you whether the request is invalid and also common events triggered during upload. That can be really useful for troubleshooting and we recommend attaching debug output to each issue on Github.
Output example:
Express-file-upload: Temporary file path is /node/express-fileupload/test/temp/tmp-16-1570084843942
Express-file-upload: New upload started testFile->car.png, bytes:0
Express-file-upload: Uploading testFile->car.png, bytes:21232...
Express-file-upload: Uploading testFile->car.png, bytes:86768...
Express-file-upload: Upload timeout testFile->car.png, bytes:86768
Express-file-upload: Cleaning up temporary file /node/express-fileupload/test/temp/tmp-16-1570084843942...
Description:
Temporary file path is...
says that useTempfiles
was set to true and also shows you temp file name and path.New upload started testFile->car.png
says that new upload started with field testFile
and file name car.png
.Uploading testFile->car.png, bytes:21232...
shows current progress for each new data chunk.Upload timeout
means that no data came during uploadTimeout
.Cleaning up temporary file
Here finaly we see cleaning up of the temporary file because of upload timeout reached.Pass in non-Busboy options directly to the middleware. These are express-fileupload specific options.
Option | Acceptable Values | Details |
---|---|---|
createParentPath |
| Automatically creates the directory path specified in .mv(filePathName) |
uriDecodeFileNames |
| Applies uri decoding to file names if set true. |
safeFileNames |
|
Strips characters from the upload's filename. You can use custom regex to determine what to strip. If set to true , non-alphanumeric characters except dashes and underscores will be stripped. This option is off by default.Example #1 (strip slashes from file names): app.use(fileUpload({ safeFileNames: /\\/g })) Example #2: app.use(fileUpload({ safeFileNames: true })) |
preserveExtension |
|
Preserves filename extension when using safeFileNames option. If set to true , will default to an extension length of 3. If set to Number , this will be the max allowable extension length. If an extension is smaller than the extension length, it remains untouched. If the extension is longer, it is shifted.Example #1 (true): app.use(fileUpload({ safeFileNames: true, preserveExtension: true })); myFileName.ext --> myFileName.ext Example #2 (max extension length 2, extension shifted): app.use(fileUpload({ safeFileNames: true, preserveExtension: 2 })); myFileName.ext --> myFileNamee.xt |
abortOnLimit |
| Returns a HTTP 413 when the file is bigger than the size limit if true. Otherwise, it will add a truncated = true to the resulting file structure. |
responseOnLimit |
| Response which will be send to client if file size limit exceeded when abortOnLimit set to true. |
limitHandler |
|
User defined limit handler which will be invoked if the file is bigger than configured limits. |
useTempFiles |
| By default this module uploads files into RAM. Setting this option to True turns on using temporary files instead of utilising RAM. This avoids memory overflow issues when uploading large files or in case of uploading lots of files at same time. |
tempFileDir |
|
Path to store temporary files. Used along with the useTempFiles option. By default this module uses 'tmp' folder in the current working directory.You can use trailing slash, but it is not necessary. |
parseNested |
|
By default, req.body and req.files are flattened like this: {'name': 'John', 'hobbies[0]': 'Cinema', 'hobbies[1]': 'Bike'} When this option is enabled they are parsed in order to be nested like this: {'name': 'John', 'hobbies': ['Cinema', 'Bike']} |
debug |
| Turn on/off upload process logging. Can be useful for troubleshooting. |
uploadTimeout |
| This defines how long to wait for data before aborting. Set to 0 if you want to turn off timeout checks. |
