aheckmann / connect-multipart-gridform Goto Github PK

If I use an input file with the multiple attribute as such:

<input type='file' name='files' multiple>

Uploads seems to fail, if I remove the multiple attribute, it works again.

Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/3178715

Any idea what may be wrong?

sounds like it doesn't work

Hi there,

Being a newbe with node and express I had great difficulties to integrate your module into my application.
It works fine now, no it works great!

But maybe you could just add a small remark to your example stating that you should not use the express.bodyParser as I was doing as I finally discoverd in this topic http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11295554/how-to-disable-express-bodyparser-for-file-uploads-node-js.

So my issue is not an issue with this great module, but I thought it could help some future users of it.

kind regards,
Arthur

It would be nice to be able to set the metadata of files being uploaded, I would like to set them to {user_id: }, right now I do it by updating the created document but I was wondering if there was a better way.

hi, @aheckmann

It is quite exciting to use this module. I come to a problem when I am going to use it in real world - check req.user before saving the data.
So, I try to use connect-multipart-gridform in this way,

   multipart({
        db : db,
        mongo : mongodb,
        limit: '900mb', 
        **defer:true**
    })

In the routes, add

        app.post('/dfs', dfsRoutes.upload);

then, in the upload method, check the req.user, and it is valid, call next().
if not, end the response.

But it does not work as I think, so I read codes of connect-multipart-gridform, I learned something about multipart and gridform. But I haven't figured out the best solution here.
Can you give me a hand ?
Thanks.

So my code works ok locally but when I try the same peace of code trying to upload the same file on the prod server (gentoo), I get an error. The error is just a test.txt file with "test" as text inside. Using mongo 2.0.5 on both local and prod server and node v0.6.18.

This is the code I use:

app.post('/upload/', function(req, res, next){
    req.on('complete', function(err, fields, files){
        console.log('done')
    })
});

And this is the error I get on prod with the same uploaded file, same code and same mongodb version:

Any idea what may be wrong?
