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

vee-formidable

npm version

This is a simple ExpressJS middleware which wraps 'formidable' IncommingForm.

It is written in TypeScript, declaration file is available by default.

API

This package exports a single object with a single field makeMiddleware containing a function described bellow.

makeMiddleware(options?: FormidableOptions)

Accepts one optional argument of type FormidableOptions, which is Object.assigned to the wrapped formidable.IncommingForm. See formidable API for an up-to-date reference about available options.

After applying this middleware, you can utilize req.fields as an object, with each key being the name of the form input and its corresponding value containing input's data, which is of type string | string[].

All files sent by the form are stored in a directory specified as uploadDir option, which is os.tmpdir() by default. Information about forwarded files is available at req.files. It is an object mapping input's names to formidable.File | formidable.File[] (see '@types/formidable' declaration file for precise info).

TypeScript example

import * as express from 'express';
import * as formParser from 'vee-formidable';

const app = express();

app.use(formParser.makeMiddleware({
    uploadDir: 'data/form-files'
}));

app.post('/entity/new', (req, res, next) => {
    console.log(
        `Form fields: ${req.fields}`, 
        `Form files: ${req.files}`
    );
});

JavaScript example

const express = require('express');
const formParser = require('vee-formidable');

const app = express();

app.use(formParser.makeMiddleware({ 
    uploadDir: 'data/form-files'
}));

app.post('/entity/new', (req, res, next) => {
    console.log(
        `Form fields: ${req.fields}`, 
        `Form files: ${req.files}`
    );
});

Credits

This middleware is a problem fixed and rewritten to TypeScript 'express-formidable' npm package.

Type declaration file is based on '@types/express-formidable' npm package.
