easy_express_formidable v0.1.1

express-formidable

An Express middleware of Formidable that just works.

What are Express, Formidable, and this?

Express is a fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.

Formidable is a Node.js module for parsing form data, especially file uploads.

So, express-formidable is something like a bridge between them, specifically an Express middleware implementation of Formidable.

It aims to just work.

Install

npm install express-formidable@latest

How to use

var express = require('express');
var formidable = require('express-formidable');

var app = express();

app.use(formidable.parse());

app.post('/upload', function (req, res) {
  // req.body will contains the parsed body
});

And that's it.

Requests having a multipart/form-data content-type will only be parsed.
