-
- A [multipart/form-data](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2388) encoded stream, helper for file upload.
-
- ## Install
-
- ```bash
- npm install formstream
- ```
-
- ## Quick Start
-
- ```js
- var formstream = require('formstream');
- var http = require('http');
-
- var form = formstream();
-
- // form.file('file', filepath, filename);
- form.file('file', './logo.png', 'upload-logo.png');
-
- // other form fields
- form.field('foo', 'fengmk2').field('love', 'aerdeng');
-
- // even send file content buffer directly
- // form.buffer(name, buffer, filename, mimeType)
- form.buffer('file2', new Buffer('This is file2 content.'), 'foo.txt');
-
- var options = {
- method: 'POST',
- host: 'upload.cnodejs.net',
- path: '/store',
- headers: form.headers()
- };
- var req = http.request(options, function (res) {
- console.log('Status: %s', res.statusCode);
- res.on('data', function (data) {
- console.log(data.toString());
- });
- });
-
- form.pipe(req);
- ```
-
- ### Chaining
-
- ```js
- var fs = require('fs');
- var formstream = require('formstream');
-
- var filepath = './logo.png';
- fs.stat(filepath, function (err, stat) {
- formstream()
- .field('status', 'share picture')
- .field('access_token', 'your access token')
- .file('pic', filepath, 'logo.png', stat.size)
- .pipe(process.stdout); // your request stream
- });
- ```
-
- ### Set min chunk buffer size
-
- Some web servers have a limit on the number of chunks, and you can set `minChunkSize` to ensure the size of chunk sent to the server.
-
- ```js
- var fs = require('fs');
- var FormStream = require('formstream');
-
- var filepath = './big-file.zip';
- fs.stat(filepath, function (err, stat) {
- new FormStream({
- // send >= 2MB chunk buffer size to the server
- minChunkSize: 1024 * 1024 * 2,
- }).field('status', 'share file')
- .field('access_token', 'your access token')
- .file('file', filepath, 'big-file.zip', stat.size)
- .pipe(process.stdout); // your request stream
- });
- ```
