@macchiatojs/body

A full-featured @macchiatojs body parser middleware. Supports multipart, urlencoded, and json request bodies. Provides the same functionality as Express's bodyParser - multer.

Features

• 🦄 Based on top of [co-body] and [formidable].
• 🚀 Isomorphic to the moon.
• 🔥 Blaze and lightweight parser.
• 📌 Support for form.
• 🎯 Support for json.
• 🥞 Support for multipart.
• 🪁 Support for file upload.
• 📋 Support for text (raw text, html, xml).
• ✨ Asynchronous support (async/await).
• 🐢 Raw Node.js (http) support.
• 🎉 TypeScript support.

Installation

# npm
$ npm install @macchiatojs/body
# yarn
$ yarn add @macchiatojs/body

When use this module with raw Node.js should insall an additional module type-is.

Usage

with Macchiato.js

import Macchiato from "@macchiatojs/kernel";
import requestBody from "@macchiatojs/body";

const app = new Macchiato();

app.use(requestBody(bodyOpts));
app.use((request: Request, response: Response) => {
  response.body = request["body"];
});

app.start(1111);

with raw Node.js

import http from "http";
import requestBody from "@macchiatojs/body";

const server = http.createServer(async (request, response) => {
  try {
    await requestBody()(request);
    response.statusCode = 200;
    response.write(request?.body);
    response.end();
    return;
  } catch (error) {
    response.statusCode = 500;
    response.end("some thing long ...");
    return;
  }
});

server.listen(1111);

Note

If you want to use [email protected] you should replace you're import from

import requestBody from "@macchiatojs/body"

to

import requestBody from "@macchiatojs/body/v1"

When we release the 1.0.0 we will drop support for [email protected].

Options

Options available for @macchiatojs/body. Four custom options, and others are from raw-body and formidable.

• expressify {Boolean} Only with Macchiato.js; Choose the right middleware style (false ==> koaify / true ==> expressify), default true
• jsonLimit {String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the JSON body, default 1mb
• formLimit {String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the form body, default 56kb
• textLimit {String|Integer} The byte (if integer) limit of the text body, default 56kb
• encoding {String} Sets encoding for incoming form fields, default utf-8
• multipart {Boolean} Parse multipart bodies, default false
• urlencoded {Boolean} Parse urlencoded bodies, default true
• text {Boolean} Parse text bodies, such as XML, default true
• json {Boolean} Parse JSON bodies, default true
• jsonStrict {Boolean} Toggles co-body strict mode; if set to true - only parses arrays or objects, default true
• formidable {Object} Options to pass to the formidable multipart parser
• parsedMethods {String[]} Declares the HTTP methods where bodies will be parsed, default ['POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH'].

A note about parsedMethods

see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-19#section-6.3

• GET, HEAD, and DELETE requests have no defined semantics for the request body, but this doesn't mean they may not be valid in certain use cases.
• @macchiatojs/body is strict by default, parsing only POST, PUT, and PATCH requests.

Some options for formidable

See node-formidable for a full list of options

• maxFields {Integer} Limits the number of fields that the querystring parser will decode, default 1000
• maxFieldsSize {Integer} Limits the amount of memory all fields together (except files) can allocate in bytes. If this value is exceeded, an 'error' event is emitted, default 2mb (2 * 1024 * 1024)
• uploadDir {String} Sets the directory for placing file uploads in, default os.tmpDir()
• keepExtensions {Boolean} Files written to uploadDir will include the extensions of the original files, default false
• hashAlgorithm (hash with [email protected]) {String} If you want checksums calculated for incoming files, set this to either 'sha1' or 'md5', default false
• multiples {Boolean} Multiple file uploads or no, default true
• onFileBegin {Function} Special callback on file begin. The function is executed directly by formidable. It can be used to rename files before saving them to disk. See the docs
