does uppy-server support multipart? #56

Uppy-server has body-parser as a dependency. On their repo I find that it

does not handle multipart bodies

As a total nitwit in this area this kind of suprises me? Does uppy-server not require something like multer to facilitate multipart. This idea of mine stems from this article.

Hi there. Uppy server does not receive files. It’s a proxy for fetching from Eg dropbox. The receiver is your Eg Apache server or a tusd server

musicformellons commented 6 years ago

Ah! So to have 'a complete' file storage solution I need to install e.g. a tusd server next to uppy-server!?

Yeah sorry if it's a bit unclear! If you just need 'regular' uploads, your current webserver will be able to handle any upload from the XhrPlugin. If you addition you want:

import from instagram/dropbox/etc: add uppy-server
resumable file uploads: add a tus server (can also be ruby/php tus integration, or a standalone server like tusd)

Does that help?

It is clear now! Thanks!
