A node.js module for parsing incoming HTML form data.
- node.js -- v0.8.0 or newer
npm install busboy
- Parsing (multipart) with default options:
var http = require('http'),
inspect = require('util').inspect;
var Busboy = require('busboy');
http.createServer(function(req, res) {

var busboy = new Busboy({ headers: req.headers });
busboy.on('file', function(fieldname, file, filename, encoding, mimetype) {
console.log('File [' + fieldname +']: filename: ' + filename + ', encoding: ' + encoding);
file.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('File [' + fieldname +'] got ' + data.length + ' bytes');
});
file.on('end', function() {
console.log('File [' + fieldname +'] Finished');
});
});
busboy.on('field', function(fieldname, val, valTruncated, keyTruncated) {
console.log('Field [' + fieldname + ']: value: ' + inspect(val));
});
busboy.on('end', function() {
console.log('Done parsing form!');
res.writeHead(303, { Connection: 'close', Location: '/' });
res.end();
});

} else if (req.method === 'GET') {

// Done parsing form!Busboy is a Writable stream
-
file(< string >fieldname, < ReadableStream >stream, < string >filename, < string >transferEncoding, < string >mimeType) - Emitted for each new file form field found.
transferEncodingcontains the 'Content-Transfer-Encoding' value for the file stream.mimeTypecontains the 'Content-Type' value for the file stream. Notice that when no file is attached to the field, (typeof filename === 'undefined'), the stream is 0-length but still requires draining to signal that the event was handled, otherwise the 'end' event will not fire. call stream.resume() to drain the stream. -
field(< string >fieldname, < string >value, < boolean >valueTruncated, < boolean >fieldnameTruncated) - Emitted for each new non-file field found.
-
partsLimit() - Emitted when specified
partslimit has been reached. No more 'file' or 'field' events will be emitted. -
filesLimit() - Emitted when specified
fileslimit has been reached. No more 'file' events will be emitted. -
fieldsLimit() - Emitted when specified
fieldslimit has been reached. No more 'field' events will be emitted.
Note: The stream passed in on the 'file' event will also emit a 'limit' event (no arguments) if the fileSize limit is reached. If this happens, no more data will be available on the stream.
-
(constructor)(< object >config) - Creates and returns a new Busboy instance with the following valid
configsettings:-
headers - object - These are the HTTP headers of the incoming request, which are used by individual parsers.
-
highWaterMark - integer - highWaterMark to use for this Busboy instance (Default: WritableStream default).
-
fileHwm - integer - highWaterMark to use for file streams (Default: ReadableStream default).
-
defCharset - string - Default character set to use when one isn't defined (Default: 'utf8').
-
limits - object - Various limits on incoming data. Valid properties are:
-
fieldNameSize - integer - Max field name size (Default: 100 bytes).
-
fieldSize - integer - Max field value size (Default: 1MB).
-
fields - integer - Max number of non-file fields (Default: Infinity).
-
fileSize - integer - For multipart forms, the max file size (Default: Infinity).
-
files - integer - For multipart forms, the max number of file fields (Default: Infinity).
-
parts - integer - For multipart forms, the max number of parts (fields + files) (Default: Infinity).
-
headerPairs - integer - For multipart forms, the max number of header key=>value pairs to parse Default: 2000 (same as node's http).
