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 🙏

Readme

@torrin-kit/server-express

Express.js integration for Torrin upload engine.

Size: 3.9 KB (1.1 KB gzipped)

Installation

npm install @torrin-kit/server @torrin-kit/server-express @torrin-kit/storage-local

Quick Start

import express from "express";
import { createTorrinExpressRouter } from "@torrin-kit/server-express";
import { createLocalStorageDriver } from "@torrin-kit/storage-local";
import { createInMemoryStore } from "@torrin-kit/server";

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

const torrinRouter = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage: createLocalStorageDriver({ baseDir: "./uploads" }),
  store: createInMemoryStore(),
});

app.use("/torrin/uploads", torrinRouter);
app.listen(3000);

API

createTorrinExpressRouter(options)

interface TorrinExpressOptions {
  // Required
  storage: TorrinStorageDriver;
  store: TorrinUploadStore;

  // Optional
  defaultChunkSize?: number; // Default: 1MB
  maxChunkSize?: number; // Default: 100MB
  uploadTtlMs?: number; // Default: 24 hours

  // Lifecycle hooks
  onBeforeInit?(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> | void;
  onBeforeChunk?(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> | void;
  onBeforeComplete?(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> | void;
  onBeforeStatus?(req: Request, res: Response): Promise<void> | void;
}

Endpoints

The router creates these endpoints:

| Method | Path | Description | | -------- | -------------------------- | ----------------- | | POST | / | Initialize upload | | PUT | /:uploadId/chunks/:index | Upload chunk | | GET | /:uploadId/status | Get upload status | | POST | /:uploadId/complete | Complete upload | | DELETE | /:uploadId | Abort upload |

Lifecycle Hooks

Authentication

const router = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage,
  store,

  onBeforeInit: async (req, res) => {
    const user = await validateToken(req.headers.authorization);
    if (!user) {
      res.status(401).json({ error: "Unauthorized" });
      return; // Response sent, handler stops
    }
    (req as any).user = user;
  },

  onBeforeChunk: async (req, res) => {
    const user = await validateToken(req.headers.authorization);
    if (!user) {
      res.status(401).json({ error: "Unauthorized" });
    }
  },
});

Validation

const MAX_FILE_SIZE = 1024 * 1024 * 1024; // 1GB
const ALLOWED_TYPES = ["video/mp4", "image/jpeg", "image/png"];

const router = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage,
  store,

  onBeforeInit: (req, res) => {
    const { fileSize, mimeType } = req.body;

    if (fileSize > MAX_FILE_SIZE) {
      res.status(400).json({ error: "File too large" });
      return;
    }

    if (mimeType && !ALLOWED_TYPES.includes(mimeType)) {
      res.status(400).json({ error: "File type not allowed" });
      return;
    }
  },
});

Rate limiting

import rateLimit from "express-rate-limit";

const chunkLimiter = rateLimit({
  windowMs: 60 * 1000,
  max: 100,
});

app.use("/torrin/uploads/:uploadId/chunks", chunkLimiter);

Logging

const router = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage,
  store,

  onBeforeInit: (req) => {
    console.log(`New upload: ${req.body.fileName}`);
  },

  onBeforeChunk: (req) => {
    console.log(`Chunk ${req.params.index} for ${req.params.uploadId}`);
  },

  onBeforeComplete: (req) => {
    console.log(`Completing: ${req.params.uploadId}`);
  },
});

Storage Drivers

Local storage

import { createLocalStorageDriver } from "@torrin-kit/storage-local";

const router = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage: createLocalStorageDriver({
    baseDir: "./uploads",
    tempDir: "./uploads/.temp",
  }),
  store: createInMemoryStore(),
});

S3 storage

import { createS3StorageDriver } from "@torrin-kit/storage-s3";

const router = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage: createS3StorageDriver({
    bucket: "my-bucket",
    region: "us-east-1",
  }),
  store: createInMemoryStore(),
});

Cleanup

import { TorrinService, createInMemoryStore } from "@torrin-kit/server";

const store = createInMemoryStore();
const storage = createLocalStorageDriver({ baseDir: "./uploads" });

// Create service for cleanup
const service = new TorrinService({ storage, store });

// Cleanup endpoint
app.post("/admin/cleanup", async (req, res) => {
  const result = await service.cleanupExpiredUploads();
  res.json(result);
});

// Periodic cleanup
setInterval(() => {
  service.cleanupExpiredUploads();
}, 60 * 60 * 1000);

Full Example

import express from "express";
import cors from "cors";
import { createTorrinExpressRouter } from "@torrin-kit/server-express";
import { createLocalStorageDriver } from "@torrin-kit/storage-local";
import { createInMemoryStore, TorrinService } from "@torrin-kit/server";

const app = express();
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());

const storage = createLocalStorageDriver({ baseDir: "./uploads" });
const store = createInMemoryStore();
const service = new TorrinService({ storage, store });

const router = createTorrinExpressRouter({
  storage,
  store,
  uploadTtlMs: 60 * 60 * 1000, // 1 hour

  onBeforeInit: async (req, res) => {
    const apiKey = req.headers["x-api-key"];
    if (apiKey !== process.env.API_KEY) {
      res.status(401).json({ error: "Invalid API key" });
    }
  },
});

app.use("/torrin/uploads", router);
app.use("/files", express.static("./uploads"));

app.post("/admin/cleanup", async (req, res) => {
  const result = await service.cleanupExpiredUploads();
  res.json(result);
});

app.listen(3000);
