Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Published

A Koa body parser middleware. Supports multipart, urlencoded and JSON request bodies.

Readme

koa-body Build Status Dependencies Status KoaJs Slack

A full-featured koa body parser middleware. Support multipart, urlencoded and json request bodies. Provides same functionality as Express's bodyParser - multer. And all that is wrapped only around co-body and formidable.

Install

Install with npm

$ npm install koa-body

Legacy Koa v1 support

$ npm install koa-body@3

Breaking Changes in v3/4

To address a potential security issue, the files property has been moved to ctx.request.files. In prior versions, files was a property of ctx.request.body. If you do not use multipart uploads, no changes to your code need to be made.

Versions 1 and 2 of koa-body are deprecated and replaced with versions 3 and 4, respectively.

Features

  • can handle three type requests
    • multipart/form-data
    • application/x-www-urlencoded
    • application/json
  • option for patch to Koa or Node, or either
  • file uploads
  • body, fields and files limiting

Hello world

npm install koa
npm install koa-body
nvm install v8.11.2 # Note - Koa requires node v7.6.0+ for async/await support

index.js:

const Koa = require('koa');
const koaBody = require('koa-body');

const app = new Koa();

app.use(koaBody());
app.use(ctx => {
  ctx.body = `Request Body: ${JSON.stringify(ctx.request.body)}`;
});

app.listen(3000);
$ node index.js
$ curl -i http://localhost:3000/users -d "name=test"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 29
Date: Wed, 03 May 2017 02:09:44 GMT
Connection: keep-alive

Request Body: {"name":"test"}%

For a more comprehensive example, see examples/multipart.js

Usage with koa-router

It's generally better to only parse the body as needed, if using a router that supports middleware composition, we can inject it only for certain routes.

const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();
const router = require('koa-router')();
const koaBody = require('koa-body');

router.post('/users', koaBody(),
  (ctx) => {
    console.log(ctx.request.body);
    // => POST body
    ctx.body = JSON.stringify(ctx.request.body);
  }
);

app.use(router.routes());

app.listen(3000);
console.log('curl -i http://localhost:3000/users -d "name=test"');

Options

Options available for koa-body. Four custom options, and others are from raw-body and formidable.

  • patchNode {Boolean} Patch request body to Node's ctx.req, default false
  • patchKoa {Boolean} Patch request body to Koa's ctx.request, default true
  • jsonLimit {String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the JSON body, default 1mb
  • formLimit {String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the form body, default 56kb
  • textLimit {String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the text body, default 56kb
  • encoding {String} Sets encoding for incoming form fields, default utf-8
  • multipart {Boolean} Parse multipart bodies, default false
  • urlencoded {Boolean} Parse urlencoded bodies, default true
  • text {Boolean} Parse text bodies, default true
  • json {Boolean} Parse json bodies, default true
  • jsonStrict {Boolean} Toggles co-body strict mode; if set to true - only parses arrays or objects, default true
  • returnRawBody {Boolean} Toggles co-body returnRawBody option; if set to true, for requests of type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the object returned will be { parsed: parsed value, raw: raw body}, where the key parsed will contain the parsed and the key raw will contain the raw urlencoded form parameters string, default false
  • formidable {Object} Options to pass to the formidable multipart parser
  • onError {Function} Custom error handle, if throw an error, you can customize the response - onError(error, context), default will throw
  • strict {Boolean} If enabled, don't parse GET, HEAD, DELETE requests, default true

A note about strict mode

see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-19#section-6.3

  • GET, HEAD, and DELETE requests have no defined semantics for the request body, but this doesn't mean they may not be valid in certain use cases.
  • koa-body is strict by default

Some options for formidable

See node-formidable for a full list of options

  • maxFields {Integer} Limits the number of fields that the querystring parser will decode, default 1000
  • maxFieldsSize {Integer} Limits the amount of memory all fields together (except files) can allocate in bytes. If this value is exceeded, an 'error' event is emitted, default 2mb (2 * 1024 * 1024)
  • uploadDir {String} Sets the directory for placing file uploads in, default os.tmpDir()
  • keepExtensions {Boolean} Files written to uploadDir will include the extensions of the original files, default false
  • hash {String} If you want checksums calculated for incoming files, set this to either 'sha1' or 'md5', default false
  • multiples {Boolean} Multiple file uploads or no, default true
  • onFileBegin {Function} Special callback on file begin. The function is executed directly by formidable. It can be used to rename files before saving them to disk. See the docs

Note: You can patch request body to Node or Koa in same time if you want.
