express-mongo-busboy

A elegant way of storing file uploads into GridFS from mongo or mongoose.

Quick Use

var mongoose = require("mongoose");

... Models, Schemas, etc.
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/mydb');
var emb = require("express-mongo-busboy")({mongoose:mongoose});

app.post("/uploads",emb,function(req,res){
	console.log(req.body.files); // {upload:{id:54f26081d2790e802f741c3a,filename:'myupload.jpg'}}
	console.log(req.body.myOtherField) // "Hello World"
});

Client Side

<form method="post",enctype="multipart/form-data">
	<input type="file" name="upload" />
	<input type="text" name="myOtherField" />  
	<button type="submit"> Submit </button>
</form>

Options

mongoose: Use a already initialized mongoose connection. This is the only required option to pass if you are using mongoose.

mongo: Use a native mongoDb driver, must specify the Mongo.Db using the db option.

db: This is to specify the connected database when using a native mongo client.

More options like extension rejection, file number limiting, and file size will becoming in the future, for now these are the only ones.
