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 🙏

Readme

express-busboy npm version Build Status

A simple body-parser like module for express that uses connect-busboy under the hood.

It's designed to be more of a "drop in" replacement for body-parser. With it populating req.body, there is very minimal code change needed to use it.

usage

import bb from 'express-busboy';
const app = express();

bb.extend(app);

The module will populate req.body and req.files like the body-parser module does.

configuration

bb.extend(app, {
    //options can go here
});

By default this module will create an Array when it finds multiple fields with the same name in the POST parameters. You can set restrictMultiple to true to not parse mutiple POST values into Array's

file uploads

By default file uploads are disabled, the req.files object will always be empty. You can activate them with:

bb.extend(app, {
    upload: true,
    path: '/path/to/save/files',
    allowedPath: /./
});

path will default to: os.tmpdir()/express-busboy/<uuid>/<the field name>/<filename>.

allowedPath can contain a regular expression limiting the upload function to given urls. For example /^\/upload$/ would only allow uploads in the /upload path.

You can have a function returning true/false if you prefer that:

options.allowedPath = function(url) {
    return url == '/upload';
}

You can restrict uploads to specific mimetypes as well:

options.mimeTypeLimit = [
    'text/x-markdown',
    'application/javascript',
    'image/jpeg',
    'image/png'
];

Name and filename inputs will be sanitized into an MD5 hash before determining path for the file on disk. If you want to change this behavior you can provide a strip function of your own:

// this will not sanitize the inputs
options.strip = function(value, type) {
    return value;
}

When files are not uploaded due to path or mimetype checks, no error is returned (so the other data in the request can be handled) the restricted item will simply not appear in the req.files Object.
