Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Blueimp file upload for Express js

Build Status ![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join Chat.svg)

NPM

A simple express module for integrating the jQuery File Upload frontend plugin.

Fullstack Demo | Tutorial on my blog

History

The code was forked from a sample backend code from the plugin's repo. Adaptations were made to show how to use this plugin with the popular Express Node.js framework.

Although this code was initially meant for educational purposes, enhancements were made. Users can additionally:

  • choose the destination filesystem, local or cloud-based Amazon S3,
  • create thumbnail without heavy external dependencies using lwip,
  • setup server-side rules by configuration,
  • modify the code against a test harness.

Installation

Setup an Express project and install the package.

$ npm install blueimp-file-upload-expressjs

Beginners can follow the tutorial for detailed instructions.

Tests

Unit tests can be run with Jasmine using npm test or this command:

$ jasmine-node specs/

Manual end to end tests can be done with this full project. Change the require() path of uploadManager.js to link it this cloned repository.

Configuration

options = {
    tmpDir: __dirname + '/tmp', // tmp dir to upload files to
    uploadDir: __dirname + '/public/files', // actual location of the file
    uploadUrl: '/files/', // end point for delete route 
    maxPostSize: 11000000000, // 11 GB
    minFileSize: 1,
    maxFileSize: 10000000000, // 10 GB
    acceptFileTypes: /.+/i,
    inlineFileTypes: /\.(gif|jpe?g|png)/i,
    imageTypes:  /\.(gif|jpe?g|png)/i,
    copyImgAsThumb : true, // required
    imageVersions :{
        maxWidth : 200,
        maxHeight : 200
    },
    accessControl: {
        allowOrigin: '*',
        allowMethods: 'OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE',
        allowHeaders: 'Content-Type, Content-Range, Content-Disposition'
    },
    storage : {
        type : 'local', // local or aws
        aws : {
            accessKeyId :  'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // required if aws
            secretAccessKey : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // required if aws
            region : 'us-west-2', //make sure you know the region, else leave this option out
            bucketName : 'xxxxxxxxx' // required if aws
        }
    }
};

Usage with options

(refer tutorial)

// config the uploader
var options = {
    tmpDir:  __dirname + '/../public/uploaded/tmp',
    uploadDir: __dirname + '/../public/uploaded/files',
    uploadUrl:  '/uploaded/files/',
    maxPostSize: 11000000000, // 11 GB
    minFileSize:  1,
    maxFileSize:  10000000000, // 10 GB
    acceptFileTypes:  /.+/i,
    // Files not matched by this regular expression force a download dialog,
    // to prevent executing any scripts in the context of the service domain:
    inlineFileTypes:  /\.(gif|jpe?g|png)/i,
    imageTypes:  /\.(gif|jpe?g|png)/i,
    copyImgAsThumb : true, // required
    imageVersions :{
        maxWidth : 200,
        maxHeight : 200
    },
    accessControl: {
        allowOrigin: '*',
        allowMethods: 'OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE',
        allowHeaders: 'Content-Type, Content-Range, Content-Disposition'
    },
    storage : {
        type : 'aws',
        aws : {
            accessKeyId :  'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
            secretAccessKey : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
            region : 'us-east-1',//make sure you know the region, else leave this option out
            bucketName : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
        }
    }
};

// init the uploader
var uploader = require('blueimp-file-upload-expressjs')(options);


module.exports = function (router) {
    router.get('/upload', function(req, res) {
      uploader.get(req, res, function (err,obj) {
            if(!err){
                res.send(JSON.stringify(obj));
            }
      });
      
    });

    router.post('/upload', function(req, res) {
      uploader.post(req, res, function (error,obj, redirect) {
          if(!error)
          {
            res.send(JSON.stringify(obj)); 
          }
      });
      
    });
    
    // the path SHOULD match options.uploadUrl
    router.delete('/uploaded/files/:name', function(req, res) {
      uploader.delete(req, res, function (err,obj) {
            res.Json({error:err}); 
      });
      
    });
    return router;
}

SSL Support

Set the useSSL option to true to use the package with an HTTPS server.

var express = require('express')
var fs = require('fs')
var https = require('https');

var app = express()

// config the uploader
var options = {
    ...
    useSSL: true
    ...
};

// init the uploader
var uploader = require('blueimp-file-upload-expressjs')(options);

app.get('/upload', function(req, res) {
    uploader.get(req, res, function (err,obj) {
    if(!err)
        res.send(JSON.stringify(obj)); 
})
    .post('/upload', // ...
    .delete('/uploaded/files/:name', // ...

// create the HTTPS server
var app_key = fs.readFileSync('key.pem');
var app_cert = fs.readFileSync('cert.pem');

https.createServer({key: app_key, cert: app_cert}, app).listen(443);

Multiple thumbnails

To generate multiple thumbnails while uploading

var options = {
  tmpDir: __dirname + '/../public/uploaded/tmp',
  uploadDir: __dirname + '/../public/uploaded/files',
  uploadUrl: '/uploaded/files/',
  copyImgAsThumb: true, // required
  imageVersions: {
    maxWidth: 200,
    maxHeight: 200
  },
  storage: {
    type: 'local'
  }
};

copyImgAsThumb needs to be set to true. imageVersions, maxWidth and maxHeight will by default create a thumbnail folder and place the specified width/height thumbnail in it.

Optionally, you can omit the maxHeight. In this case, it will be resize proportionally to the specified width.

imageVersions: {
    maxWidth: 200
  },

also

imageVersions: {
    maxWidth: 200,
    maxHeight : 'auto'
  },

PS : auto value works only with height.

You can also specify multiple thumbnail generations like

var options = {
  tmpDir: __dirname + '/../public/uploaded/tmp',
  uploadDir: __dirname + '/../public/uploaded/files',
  uploadUrl: '/uploaded/files/',
  copyImgAsThumb: true,
  imageVersions: {
    maxWidth: 200,
    maxHeight: 'auto',
    "large" : {
        width : 600,
        height : 600
    },
    "medium" : {
        width : 300,
        height : 300
    },
    "small" : {
        width : 150,
        height : 150
    }
  },
  storage: {
    type: 'local'
  }
};

Contributions

Changes and improvements are welcome! Feel free to fork and open a pull request.

To Do

  • Make Configuration documentation clearer and shorter,
  • Refactor code to build tests and provide generic transports as in winston,
  • Write end to end tests with WebdriverIO,
  • Provide a basic image processing pipeline (resizing, croping, filter effects),
  • Provide access to other cloud-based services like Microsoft Azure.

Done

  • ~~Fix Thumbnail creation when uploading images with a more 'feasible' approach~~,
  • ~~Amazon S3 integration~~,
  • ~~SSL Support~~.
