express-fileupload version 2

[richardgirges]

Starting to think about what v2 of this package should look like.

I only have rough ideas so far, but the high-level themes should be:

• TypeScript-based
• Native promise support
• Reduce sub-dependencies
• Go back to basics
  • It's a file upload library, not a file naming, file management, file scanning, etc library
  • The package has become too feature-rich. Perhaps we should consider creating a hook-based API; e.g., developers attach their own hooks to execute things like file extension preservation

Open to any other ideas!

Hi @richardgirges

I like ideas you listed.
The only one I thought about is to have ability to upload directly to the fs or object storage without using temporary file.
For some cases that could be quite useful.

So it could an option list which set how to handle upload data, instead of just bool variable for temporary files, like:

• memory
• temp
• direct
• s3
• custom - where some hook could leave.
