How to disable restify.plugin.bodyParser for file uploads

This question is very similar to How to disable Express BodyParser for file uploads (Node.js). But the answer they have provided is for Express and I have tried the solution with the Restify 7, and it does not seem to work.

I'm using Node.js + Restify to build Restfull application. I am using BodyParser,to parse post parameters. However, I would like to have access to multipart form-data POSTS.

I use multer, multer-s3 and aws-sdk and I want to have access to the data to send them to digitalocean sapce. But all file uploads are parsed automatically by restify.plugin.bodyParser.

Is there a way for me to disable the BodyParser for multipart formdata posts without disabling it for everything else?

This is an example code :

const restify = require('restify');
const errors = require('restify-errors');
const aws = require('aws-sdk');
const multer = require('multer');
const multerS3 = require('multer-s3');

const server = restify.createServer();

server.use(restify.plugins.acceptParser(server.acceptable));
server.use(restify.plugins.bodyParser());

// Set S3 endpoint to DigitalOcean Spaces
const spacesEndpoint = new aws.Endpoint('nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com');

const s3 = new aws.S3({
  endpoint: spacesEndpoint
});

const upload = multer({
  storage: multerS3({
    s3: s3,
    bucket: 'space_name',
    acl: 'public-read',
    key: function (request, file, cb) {
      console.log(file);
      cb(null,new Date().toISOString());
    }
  })
}).single('logo');

server.post('/upload', async (req, res, next) => {
        upload(req, res, async (error) => {
          if (error) {
            console.log(error);
            return next(new errors.InvalidContentError(error));
          }
          console.log('File uploaded successfully.');
          res.send(200);
          next();
        });
      });

Solution

  • I just changed server.use(restify.plugins.bodyParser()); by server.use(restify.plugins.jsonBodyParser()); and everything is working fine
