Submit

A simple web service for submitting/validating file uploads and associated metadata. We provide a sample web-client along with the web server, potentially useful as a starting template.

You can view a minimalist demo of the client front-end. The demo submits user-specified form and file data to a Midway endpoint.

Usage

Client

Modify the form elements in client/index.html according to your needs.

The client assumes the server is running on localhost using port 8001. If you run the server elsewhere, be sure to change the host and port vars in client/main.js.

Server

Install dependencies and fire up the server:

cd server
npm install         # installs dependencies
npm run server      # uses `localhost:8001`

... or ...

node server.js --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001

... to specify a particular host or port.

See the tutorial for a step-by-step example walkthrough of customizing the client-side form elements and server-side upload action.

Fork-n-go

This repo is intended as a basic template for your own form/file uploading service. Follow these steps to fork and customize this template for your particular project:

1. Create a github account.
2. Fork this repo.
3. Make and commit changes to the client files in the gh-pages branch.

Your customized client should then be accessible at http://<username>.github.io/submit, where username is your github username.

See fork-n-go for more information on this style of project templating.
