multiparser@v1.0.0

Multiparser

A Deno module for parsing multipart/form-data

Features:

Very simple API
Maximum file size option
Easy to understand examples

Usage

const form = await multiParser(request, maxMem?)

request: serverRequest is a raw server request coming from Deno http module.

maxMem: number maximum memory size to store file in memory, unit: byte

default 10485760 bytes (10MB)

Return value:

Returned valud can either be

a object with string, FormFile, FormFile[] (array of FormFile)
undefined

A sample returned form value:

{
  title: "123145",
  singleFile: {
    filename: "small.png",
    type: "image/png",
    content: Uint8Array(6229) [
      137, 80, 78, 71, 13, 10, 26, 10, 0, 0, 0, 13, 73, 72,  68,
      ... 6129 more items
    ],
    size: 6229
  }
}

Here we can see

title is a form field name, and its value is a string "123145"
singleFile is a form field name, and its value is the type of FormFile,

Where:

interface FormFile {
  /** filename  */
  filename: string;
  /** content-type header value of file */
  type: string;
  /** byte size of file */
  size: number;
  /** in-memory content of file. Either content or tempfile is set  */
  content?: Uint8Array;
}

The content can be used to write file content to local disk by using Deno.writeFile(<FileName>, <content>)

Examples

With Deno http module

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";
import { multiParser } from 'https://deno.land/x/multiparser/mod.ts'

const s = serve({ port: 8000 });
for await (const req of s) {
  if (req.url === "/upload") {
    const form = await multiParser(req)
    if (form) {
      console.log(form)
    }
  }

  req.respond({
    headers: new Headers({ "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=utf-8" }),
    body: `
    <h3>Deno http module</h3>
    <form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
      <div>Text field title: <input type="text" name="title" /></div>
      <div>File: <input type="file" name="singleFile"/></div>
      <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
    </form>
  ` });
}

With Oak framework

import { Application, Context } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";
import { multiParser } from 'https://deno.land/x/multiparser/mod.ts'

const app = new Application();

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  if (ctx.request.url.pathname === '/upload') {
    const form = await multiParser(ctx.request.serverRequest)
    if (form) {
      console.log(form)
    }
  }

  ctx.response.headers.set("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8")
  ctx.response.body = `
     <h3>Deno Oak framework</h3>
     <form action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
       <div>Text field title: <input type="text" name="title" /></div>
       <div>File: <input type="file" name="singleFile"/></div>
       <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
     </form>
  `
});

await app.listen({ port: 8000 });
