file-storage

file-storage

Key/value storage interfaces for server-side File objects. file-storage gives Remix apps one consistent API across local disk and memory backends.

Features

• Simple API - Intuitive key/value API (like Web Storage, but for Files instead of strings)
• Multiple Backends - Built-in filesystem and memory backends
• Streaming Support - Stream file content to and from storage
• Metadata Preservation - Preserves all File metadata including file.name, file.type, and file.lastModified

Installation

npm i remix

Usage

File System

import { createFsFileStorage } from 'remix/file-storage/fs'

let storage = createFsFileStorage('./user/files')

let file = new File(['hello world'], 'hello.txt', { type: 'text/plain' })
let key = 'hello-key'

// Put the file in storage.
await storage.set(key, file)

// Then, sometime later...
let fileFromStorage = await storage.get(key)
// All of the original file's metadata is intact
fileFromStorage.name // 'hello.txt'
fileFromStorage.type // 'text/plain'

// To remove from storage
await storage.remove(key)
