A module to create readable "multipart/form-data" streams. Can be used to
submit forms and file uploads to other web applications.
The API of this module is inspired by the XMLHttpRequest-2 FormData Interface.
Sorry, this isn't ready for you yet.
In this example we are constructing a form with 3 fields that contain a string, a buffer and a file stream.
var FormData = require('form-data');
var fs = require('fs');
var form = new FormData();
form.append('my_field', 'my value');
form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10));
form.append('my_file', fs.createReadStream('/foo/bar.jpg'));Also you can use http-response stream:
var FormData = require('form-data');
var http = require('http');
var form = new FormData();
http.request('http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png', function(response) {
form.append('my_field', 'my value');
form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10));
form.append('my_logo', response);
});Or @mikeal's request stream:
var FormData = require('form-data');
var request = require('request');
var form = new FormData();
form.append('my_field', 'my value');
form.append('my_buffer', new Buffer(10));
form.append('my_logo', request('http://nodejs.org/images/logo.png'));In order to submit this form to a web application, you can use node's http client interface:
var http = require('http');
var request = http.request({
method: 'post',
host: 'example.org',
path: '/upload',
headers: form.getHeaders()
});
form.pipe(request);
request.on('response', function(res) {
console.log(res.statusCode);
});Or if you would prefer the 'Content-Length' header to be set for you:
form.submit('example.org/upload', function(err, res) {
console.log(res.statusCode);
});
