simple file upload as a service with nodejs.

fu is a simple file upload api server built with express and express-fileupload.

This is nothing more than an experiment, in a multitude of experiments that'd follow, if I do my #100DaysOfCode challenge seriously :)

# With NPM
npm install
npm start

# With Yarn
yarn
yarn start

• To upload a file hit the endpoint /file with a POST request of the form payload=filename.ext.

# example with curl
$ curl -F '[email protected]' -i http://localhost:3030/file

• We'll get the location in the response header as Location: /file/newFileName.ext.
• To get the file back, do a GET request to /file of the form /file/newFileName.ext

Note: Take a look at config.js to see the defaults.

• Make a better README
• Write better code dummy! Write vanilla JS, so as to remove deps
• Set file size limits
• Make an init script
• Make it more thumbor - like.
• Use this as an excuse to do a docker tutorial.

• package.json has a start:cors field.
• File size limit. Check config.js
