🤔 What is a Filesrocket?

Filesrocket is an packages of Node.js that allows management your files through strategies that help manage with any cloud services (Local, Cloudinary, AWS).

🌈 Features

• 🔭 Manage your files with multiple cloud storage services (Cloudinary, Amazon S3, Local)
• ✅ Validations (validate extensions, file sizes and more)
• ⚡ Easy to configure and integrate
• 🛡️ Written in Typescript
• 👨🏻‍💻 Community driven

📝 Prerequisites

• Have Node.js installed.
• Have VSCode (or your favorite Code Editor) installed.

⚙️ Setup

Now we are going to add some configurations for our node.

Creating project.

mkdir filesrocket-app-example

cd filesrocket-app-example

Initialize project.

npm i typescript ts-node -g

npm init -y

tsc --init

Now is necessary installed the following packages.

npm i express filesrocket filesrocket-local

npm i @types/express -D

Perfect, with this we already have everything we need.

🧑‍💻 Basic Usage

Create a src/index.ts and initialize app

import express from "express";

const app = express();

app.listen(3030, () => {
  console.log("App execute in port:3030");
})

Setting service

import { Filesrocket } from "filesrocket";

import { LocalFileService } from "filesrocket-local";

// Initialize
const filesrocket = new Filesrocket();

// Config your service
const service = new LocalFileService({
  pagination: { default: 15, max: 50 },
  host: "http://localhost:3030",
  directory: "uploads",
});

// We register the service
filesrocket.register("local", service);

Register your endpoints

const controller = filesrocket.controller("local");

// Create/Upload files.
app.post("/files", async (req, res) => {
  const files = await controller.create(req, {});
  res.status(200).json(files);
})

// List files.
app.get("/files", async (req, res) => {
  const query = req.query;

  const files = await controller.list(query);

  res.status(200).json(files);
})

// Remove files.
app.delete("/files", async (req, res) => {
  const query = req.query;
  const { id } = query;

  const files = await controller.remove(id, query)

  res.status(200).json(files)
})

Expose static files.

app.use("/uploads", express.static(path.resolve("uploads")));

Execute server

ts-node src/index.ts

With this example you can manage your files locally.

Examples 👀

To make it easier to understand the tool we have created several repositories with the most popular frameworks so that you can clone them on your computer and play with them.

🔥 Conclusions

As you have just seen, Filesrocket is a tool that allows you not only to upload your files like multer, express-fileupload and others, but it also allows you to consult, delete, provides you with a pre-formed URL and other metadata.
