installation

Configuration

the following settings can be set in ./config/plugins.js. The provider, rootDir and baseUrl are required. The rest of the values shown below is the default values.

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ...
    upload: {
        config: {
            provider: '@chcaa/strapi-provider-upload-local-configurable',
            providerOptions: {
                rootDir: undefined, // an absolute path or path relative to strapis ./public/ dir
                urlPath: undefined, // the url-path where files are located e.g. /static/files
                sizeLimit: 100000,
                partition: {        // set depth to a number higher than zero e.g. 2 to create 2 levels of sub-dirs
                    depth: 0,        // a value > 0 will enable partitioning
                    nameLength: 3,  // the name length of each sub-dir
                },
                fileNamePrefixToSubDir: [ // use the file-name prefix as a sub-dir
                    "thumbnail_",
                    "small_",
                    "medium_",
                    "large_"
                ]
            },
        },
    },
// ...
});

The sizeLimit unit is in bytes. When setting this value high, you should make sure to also configure the body parser middleware maxFileSize so the file can be sent and processed. Read more here

Changing the Router Url Path

When setting rootDir and urlPath to something other than the standard "uploads" dir as defined by strapi, a change of the router pointing to the new rootDir and/or urlPath is required. This can be done with the @chcaa/strapi-static-file-route plugin
