GridFile - Mongoose Schema for MongoDB GridFS

GridFile is a reusable Mongoose schema for MongoDB GridFS. No separate database setup is needed as it uses the Mongoose connection for interacting with GridFS.

Installation

npm install gridfile

Usage

• Import the schema

const schema = require('gridfile')

• Create a Mongoose model from the schema

const GridFile = mongoose.model('GridFile', schema)

• Upload a file

const fileStream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file.ext')

const gridFile = new GridFile()
gridFile.filename = 'file.ext'
await gridFile.upload(fileStream)

• Download a file

const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/file.ext')
const gridFile = GridFile.findById('id')

await gridFile.download(fileStream)

Examples

• Upload files to MongoDB GridFS with Express - Create express based APIs to upload and download files to and from MongoDB GridFS
• Mongoose Query Population with GridFile Schema - Store email attachments on GridFS and link them to an email to support Mongoose query population
