_Check [VERSION NOTES](https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/blob/master/VERSION_NOTES.md) for more information on v1, v2, and v3 plans, NPM dist-tags and branches._
|
||
|
||
This module was initially developed by
|
||
[**@felixge**](https://github.com/felixge) for
|
||
[Transloadit](http://transloadit.com/), a service focused on uploading and
|
||
encoding images and videos. It has been battle-tested against hundreds of GBs of
|
||
file uploads from a large variety of clients and is considered production-ready
|
||
and is used in production for years.
|
||
|
||
Currently, we are few maintainers trying to deal with it. :) More contributors
|
||
are always welcome! :heart: Jump on
|
||
[issue #412](https://github.com/felixge/node-formidable/issues/412) which is
|
||
closed, but if you are interested we can discuss it and add you after strict
|
||
rules, like enabling Two-Factor Auth in your npm and GitHub accounts.
|
||
|
||
## Highlights
|
||
|
||
- [Fast (~900-2500 mb/sec)](#benchmarks) & streaming multipart parser
|
||
- Automatically writing file uploads to disk (optional, see
|
||
[`options.fileWriteStreamHandler`](#options))
|
||
- [Plugins API](#useplugin-plugin) - allowing custom parsers and plugins
|
||
- Low memory footprint
|
||
- Graceful error handling
|
||
- Very high test coverage
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
This project requires `Node.js >= 10.13`. Install it using
|
||
[yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) or [npm](https://npmjs.com).<br /> _We highly
|
||
recommend to use Yarn when you think to contribute to this project._
|
||
|
||
This is a low-level package, and if you're using a high-level framework it _may_
|
||
already be included. Check the examples below and the [examples/](https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/tree/master/examples) folder.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# v2
|
||
npm install formidable
|
||
npm install formidable@latest
|
||
npm install formidable@v2
|
||
|
||
# or v3
|
||
npm install formidable@v3
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_**Note:** In near future v3 will be published on the `latest` NPM dist-tag. Future not ready releases will continue to be published on `canary` dist-tag._
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
For more examples look at the `examples/` directory.
|
||
|
||
### with Node.js http module
|
||
|
||
Parse an incoming file upload, with the
|
||
[Node.js's built-in `http` module](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html).
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const http = require('http');
|
||
const formidable = require('formidable');
|
||
|
||
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
|
||
if (req.url === '/api/upload' && req.method.toLowerCase() === 'post') {
|
||
// parse a file upload
|
||
const form = formidable({ multiples: true });
|
||
|
||
form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
|
||
if (err) {
|
||
res.writeHead(err.httpCode || 400, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
|
||
res.end(String(err));
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
|
||
res.end(JSON.stringify({ fields, files }, null, 2));
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// show a file upload form
|
||
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
|
||
res.end(`
|
||
<h2>With Node.js <code>"http"</code> module</h2>
|
||
<form action="/api/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
|
||
<div>Text field title: <input type="text" name="title" /></div>
|
||
<div>File: <input type="file" name="multipleFiles" multiple="multiple" /></div>
|
||
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
|
||
</form>
|
||
`);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
server.listen(8080, () => {
|
||
console.log('Server listening on http://localhost:8080/ ...');
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### with Express.js
|
||
|
||
There are multiple variants to do this, but Formidable just need Node.js Request
|
||
stream, so something like the following example should work just fine, without
|
||
any third-party [Express.js](https://ghub.now.sh/express) middleware.
|
||
|
||
Or try the
|
||
[examples/with-express.js](https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/blob/master/examples/with-express.js)
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const express = require('express');
|
||
const formidable = require('formidable');
|
||
|
||
const app = express();
|
||
|
||
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
|
||
res.send(`
|
||
<h2>With <code>"express"</code> npm package</h2>
|
||
<form action="/api/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
|
||
<div>Text field title: <input type="text" name="title" /></div>
|
||
<div>File: <input type="file" name="someExpressFiles" multiple="multiple" /></div>
|
||
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
|
||
</form>
|
||
`);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.post('/api/upload', (req, res, next) => {
|
||
const form = formidable({ multiples: true });
|
||
|
||
form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
|
||
if (err) {
|
||
next(err);
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
res.json({ fields, files });
|
||
});
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.listen(3000, () => {
|
||
console.log('Server listening on http://localhost:3000 ...');
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### with Koa and Formidable
|
||
|
||
Of course, with [Koa v1, v2 or future v3](https://ghub.now.sh/koa) the things
|
||
are very similar. You can use `formidable` manually as shown below or through
|
||
the [koa-better-body](https://ghub.now.sh/koa-better-body) package which is
|
||
using `formidable` under the hood and support more features and different
|
||
request bodies, check its documentation for more info.
|
||
|
||
_Note: this example is assuming Koa v2. Be aware that you should pass `ctx.req`
|
||
which is Node.js's Request, and **NOT** the `ctx.request` which is Koa's Request
|
||
object - there is a difference._
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const Koa = require('koa');
|
||
const formidable = require('formidable');
|
||
|
||
const app = new Koa();
|
||
|
||
app.on('error', (err) => {
|
||
console.error('server error', err);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
|
||
if (ctx.url === '/api/upload' && ctx.method.toLowerCase() === 'post') {
|
||
const form = formidable({ multiples: true });
|
||
|
||
// not very elegant, but that's for now if you don't want to use `koa-better-body`
|
||
// or other middlewares.
|
||
await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
|
||
form.parse(ctx.req, (err, fields, files) => {
|
||
if (err) {
|
||
reject(err);
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
ctx.set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
|
||
ctx.status = 200;
|
||
ctx.state = { fields, files };
|
||
ctx.body = JSON.stringify(ctx.state, null, 2);
|
||
resolve();
|
||
});
|
||
});
|
||
await next();
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// show a file upload form
|
||
ctx.set('Content-Type', 'text/html');
|
||
ctx.status = 200;
|
||
ctx.body = `
|
||
<h2>With <code>"koa"</code> npm package</h2>
|
||
<form action="/api/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
|
||
<div>Text field title: <input type="text" name="title" /></div>
|
||
<div>File: <input type="file" name="koaFiles" multiple="multiple" /></div>
|
||
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
|
||
</form>
|
||
`;
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.use((ctx) => {
|
||
console.log('The next middleware is called');
|
||
console.log('Results:', ctx.state);
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.listen(3000, () => {
|
||
console.log('Server listening on http://localhost:3000 ...');
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Benchmarks
|
||
|
||
The benchmark is quite old, from the old codebase. But maybe quite true though.
|
||
Previously the numbers was around ~500 mb/sec. Currently with moving to the new
|
||
Node.js Streams API it's faster. You can clearly see the differences between the
|
||
Node versions.
|
||
|
||
_Note: a lot better benchmarking could and should be done in future._

||

||

## API
|
||
|
||
### Formidable / IncomingForm
|
||
|
||
All shown are equivalent.
|
||
|
||
_Please pass [`options`](#options) to the function/constructor, not by assigning
|
||
them to the instance `form`_
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const formidable = require('formidable');
|
||
const form = formidable(options);
|
||
|
||
// or
|
||
const { formidable } = require('formidable');
|
||
const form = formidable(options);
|
||
|
||
// or
|
||
const { IncomingForm } = require('formidable');
|
||
const form = new IncomingForm(options);
|
||
|
||
// or
|
||
const { Formidable } = require('formidable');
|
||
const form = new Formidable(options);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Options
|
||
|
||
See it's defaults in [src/Formidable.js DEFAULT_OPTIONS](./src/Formidable.js)
|
||
(the `DEFAULT_OPTIONS` constant).
|
||
|
||
- `options.encoding` **{string}** - default `'utf-8'`; sets encoding for
|
||
incoming form fields,
|
||
- `options.uploadDir` **{string}** - default `os.tmpdir()`; the directory for
|
||
placing file uploads in. You can move them later by using `fs.rename()`.
|
||
- `options.keepExtensions` **{boolean}** - default `false`; to include the
|
||
extensions of the original files or not
|
||
- `options.allowEmptyFiles` **{boolean}** - default `true`; allow upload empty
|
||
files
|
||
- `options.minFileSize` **{number}** - default `1` (1byte); the minium size of
|
||
uploaded file.
|
||
- `options.maxFileSize` **{number}** - default `200 * 1024 * 1024` (200mb);
|
||
limit the size of uploaded file.
|
||
- `options.maxFields` **{number}** - default `1000`; limit the number of fields, set 0 for unlimited
|
||
- `options.maxFieldsSize` **{number}** - default `20 * 1024 * 1024` (20mb);
|
||
limit the amount of memory all fields together (except files) can allocate in
|
||
bytes.
|
||
- `options.hashAlgorithm` **{string | false}** - default `false`; include checksums calculated
|
||
for incoming files, set this to some hash algorithm, see
|
||
[crypto.createHash](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createhash_algorithm_options)
|
||
for available algorithms
|
||
- `options.fileWriteStreamHandler` **{function}** - default `null`, which by
|
||
default writes to host machine file system every file parsed; The function
|
||
should return an instance of a
|
||
[Writable stream](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_writable)
|
||
that will receive the uploaded file data. With this option, you can have any
|
||
custom behavior regarding where the uploaded file data will be streamed for.
|
||
If you are looking to write the file uploaded in other types of cloud storages
|
||
(AWS S3, Azure blob storage, Google cloud storage) or private file storage,
|
||
this is the option you're looking for. When this option is defined the default
|
||
behavior of writing the file in the host machine file system is lost.
|
||
- `options.multiples` **{boolean}** - default `false`; when you call the
|
||
`.parse` method, the `files` argument (of the callback) will contain arrays of
|
||
files for inputs which submit multiple files using the HTML5 `multiple`
|
||
attribute. Also, the `fields` argument will contain arrays of values for
|
||
fields that have names ending with '[]'.
|
||
- `options.filename` **{function}** - default `undefined` Use it to control
|
||
newFilename. Must return a string. Will be joined with options.uploadDir.
|
||
|
||
- `options.filter` **{function}** - default function that always returns true.
|
||
Use it to filter files before they are uploaded. Must return a boolean.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### `options.filename` **{function}** function (name, ext, part, form) -> string
|
||
|
||
_**Note:** If this size of combined fields, or size of some file is exceeded, an
|
||
`'error'` event is fired._
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// The amount of bytes received for this form so far.
|
||
form.bytesReceived;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// The expected number of bytes in this form.
|
||
form.bytesExpected;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `options.filter` **{function}** function ({name, originalFilename, mimetype}) -> boolean
|
||
|
||
**Note:** use an outside variable to cancel all uploads upon the first error
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const options = {
|
||
filter: function ({name, originalFilename, mimetype}) {
|
||
// keep only images
|
||
return mimetype && mimetype.includes("image");
|
||
}
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### .parse(request, callback)
|
||
|
||
Parses an incoming Node.js `request` containing form data. If `callback` is
|
||
provided, all fields and files are collected and passed to the callback.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const formidable = require('formidable');
|
||
|
||
const form = formidable({ multiples: true, uploadDir: __dirname });
|
||
|
||
form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
|
||
console.log('fields:', fields);
|
||
console.log('files:', files);
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You may overwrite this method if you are interested in directly accessing the
|
||
multipart stream. Doing so will disable any `'field'` / `'file'` events
|
||
processing which would occur otherwise, making you fully responsible for
|
||
handling the processing.
|
||
|
||
About `uploadDir`, given the following directory structure
|
||
```
|
||
project-name
|
||
├── src
|
||
│ └── server.js
|
||
│
|
||
└── uploads
|
||
└── image.jpg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`__dirname` would be the same directory as the source file itself (src)
|
||
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
`${__dirname}/../uploads`
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
to put files in uploads.
|
||
|
||
Omitting `__dirname` would make the path relative to the current working directory. This would be the same if server.js is launched from src but not project-name.
|
||
|
||
|
||
`null` will use default which is `os.tmpdir()`
|
||
|
||
Note: If the directory does not exist, the uploaded files are __silently discarded__. To make sure it exists:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import {createNecessaryDirectoriesSync} from "filesac";
|
||
|
||
|
||
const uploadPath = `${__dirname}/../uploads`;
|
||
createNecessaryDirectoriesSync(`${uploadPath}/x`);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
In the example below, we listen on couple of events and direct them to the
|
||
`data` listener, so you can do whatever you choose there, based on whether its
|
||
before the file been emitted, the header value, the header name, on field, on
|
||
file and etc.
|
||
|
||
Or the other way could be to just override the `form.onPart` as it's shown a bit
|
||
later.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.once('error', console.error);
|
||
|
||
form.on('fileBegin', (formname, file) => {
|
||
form.emit('data', { name: 'fileBegin', formname, value: file });
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
form.on('file', (formname, file) => {
|
||
form.emit('data', { name: 'file', formname, value: file });
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
form.on('field', (fieldName, fieldValue) => {
|
||
form.emit('data', { name: 'field', key: fieldName, value: fieldValue });
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
form.once('end', () => {
|
||
console.log('Done!');
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
// If you want to customize whatever you want...
|
||
form.on('data', ({ name, key, value, buffer, start, end, formname, ...more }) => {
|
||
if (name === 'partBegin') {
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'partData') {
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'headerField') {
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'headerValue') {
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'headerEnd') {
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'headersEnd') {
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'field') {
|
||
console.log('field name:', key);
|
||
console.log('field value:', value);
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'file') {
|
||
console.log('file:', formname, value);
|
||
}
|
||
if (name === 'fileBegin') {
|
||
console.log('fileBegin:', formname, value);
|
||
}
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### .use(plugin: Plugin)
|
||
|
||
A method that allows you to extend the Formidable library. By default we include
|
||
4 plugins, which esentially are adapters to plug the different built-in parsers.
|
||
|
||
**The plugins added by this method are always enabled.**
|
||
|
||
_See [src/plugins/](./src/plugins/) for more detailed look on default plugins._
|
||
|
||
The `plugin` param has such signature:
|
||
|
||
```typescript
|
||
function(formidable: Formidable, options: Options): void;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The architecture is simple. The `plugin` is a function that is passed with the
|
||
Formidable instance (the `form` across the README examples) and the options.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** the plugin function's `this` context is also the same instance.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const formidable = require('formidable');
|
||
|
||
const form = formidable({ keepExtensions: true });
|
||
|
||
form.use((self, options) => {
|
||
// self === this === form
|
||
console.log('woohoo, custom plugin');
|
||
// do your stuff; check `src/plugins` for inspiration
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
form.parse(req, (error, fields, files) => {
|
||
console.log('done!');
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Important to note**, is that inside plugin `this.options`, `self.options` and
|
||
`options` MAY or MAY NOT be the same. General best practice is to always use the
|
||
`this`, so you can later test your plugin independently and more easily.
|
||
|
||
If you want to disable some parsing capabilities of Formidable, you can disable
|
||
the plugin which corresponds to the parser. For example, if you want to disable
|
||
multipart parsing (so the [src/parsers/Multipart.js](./src/parsers/Multipart.js)
|
||
which is used in [src/plugins/multipart.js](./src/plugins/multipart.js)), then
|
||
you can remove it from the `options.enabledPlugins`, like so
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const { Formidable } = require('formidable');
|
||
|
||
const form = new Formidable({
|
||
hashAlgorithm: 'sha1',
|
||
enabledPlugins: ['octetstream', 'querystring', 'json'],
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Be aware** that the order _MAY_ be important too. The names corresponds 1:1 to
|
||
files in [src/plugins/](./src/plugins) folder.
|
||
|
||
Pull requests for new built-in plugins MAY be accepted - for example, more
|
||
advanced querystring parser. Add your plugin as a new file in `src/plugins/`
|
||
folder (lowercased) and follow how the other plugins are made.
|
||
|
||
### form.onPart
|
||
|
||
If you want to use Formidable to only handle certain parts for you, you can do
|
||
something similar. Or see
|
||
[#387](https://github.com/node-formidable/node-formidable/issues/387) for
|
||
inspiration, you can for example validate the mime-type.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const form = formidable();
|
||
|
||
form.onPart = (part) => {
|
||
part.on('data', (buffer) => {
|
||
// do whatever you want here
|
||
});
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example, force Formidable to be used only on non-file "parts" (i.e., html
|
||
fields)
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const form = formidable();
|
||
|
||
form.onPart = function (part) {
|
||
// let formidable handle only non-file parts
|
||
if (part.originalFilename === '' || !part.mimetype) {
|
||
// used internally, please do not override!
|
||
form._handlePart(part);
|
||
}
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### File
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
export interface File {
|
||
// The size of the uploaded file in bytes.
|
||
// If the file is still being uploaded (see `'fileBegin'` event),
|
||
// this property says how many bytes of the file have been written to disk yet.
|
||
file.size: number;
|
||
|
||
// The path this file is being written to. You can modify this in the `'fileBegin'` event in
|
||
// case you are unhappy with the way formidable generates a temporary path for your files.
|
||
file.filepath: string;
|
||
|
||
// The name this file had according to the uploading client.
|
||
file.originalFilename: string | null;
|
||
|
||
// calculated based on options provided
|
||
file.newFilename: string | null;
|
||
|
||
// The mime type of this file, according to the uploading client.
|
||
file.mimetype: string | null;
|
||
|
||
// A Date object (or `null`) containing the time this file was last written to.
|
||
// Mostly here for compatibility with the [W3C File API Draft](http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/).
|
||
file.mtime: Date | null;
|
||
|
||
file.hashAlgorithm: false | |'sha1' | 'md5' | 'sha256'
|
||
// If `options.hashAlgorithm` calculation was set, you can read the hex digest out of this var (at the end it will be a string)
|
||
file.hash: string | object | null;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### file.toJSON()
|
||
|
||
This method returns a JSON-representation of the file, allowing you to
|
||
`JSON.stringify()` the file which is useful for logging and responding to
|
||
requests.
|
||
|
||
### Events
|
||
|
||
#### `'progress'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted after each incoming chunk of data that has been parsed. Can be used to
|
||
roll your own progress bar.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('progress', (bytesReceived, bytesExpected) => {});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `'field'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted whenever a field / value pair has been received.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('field', (name, value) => {});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `'fileBegin'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted whenever a new file is detected in the upload stream. Use this event if
|
||
you want to stream the file to somewhere else while buffering the upload on the
|
||
file system.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('fileBegin', (formName, file) => {
|
||
// accessible here
|
||
// formName the name in the form (<input name="thisname" type="file">) or http filename for octetstream
|
||
// file.originalFilename http filename or null if there was a parsing error
|
||
// file.newFilename generated hexoid or what options.filename returned
|
||
// file.filepath default pathnme as per options.uploadDir and options.filename
|
||
// file.filepath = CUSTOM_PATH // to change the final path
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `'file'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted whenever a field / file pair has been received. `file` is an instance of
|
||
`File`.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('file', (formname, file) => {
|
||
// same as fileBegin, except
|
||
// it is too late to change file.filepath
|
||
// file.hash is available if options.hash was used
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `'error'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted when there is an error processing the incoming form. A request that
|
||
experiences an error is automatically paused, you will have to manually call
|
||
`request.resume()` if you want the request to continue firing `'data'` events.
|
||
|
||
May have `error.httpCode` and `error.code` attached.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('error', (err) => {});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `'aborted'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the request was aborted by the user. Right now this can be due to a
|
||
'timeout' or 'close' event on the socket. After this event is emitted, an
|
||
`error` event will follow. In the future there will be a separate 'timeout'
|
||
event (needs a change in the node core).
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('aborted', () => {});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `'end'`
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the entire request has been received, and all contained files have
|
||
finished flushing to disk. This is a great place for you to send your response.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
form.on('end', () => {});
|
||
```
