⚙️ Setup

Before you start using Filesrocket you need to set up a simple Node.js project

Create project

mkdir my-filesrocket-app

cd my-filesrocket-app

code .
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Initialize project

npm i typescript ts-node -g

npm init -y

tsc --init --target es2018
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🚀 Get started

But before continuing you need to create a cloudinary account. If you don't have an account yet, click here and follow all the steps.

To start using Filesrocket it is necessary to install the dependencies.

npm i express filesrocket filesrocket-cloudinary

npm i @types/express -D
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create src/index.ts file and copy the following content

import express from "express";

import { Filesrocket } from "filesrocket";
import { CloudinaryFileService } from "filesrocket-cloudinary";

// Initialize Filesrocket
const filesrocket = new Filesrocket();

// Setting service.
const service = new CloudinaryFileService({
  pagination: { default: 15, max: 50 },
  cloud_name: "<Your CLOUDNAME>",
  api_key: "<Your API KEY>",
  api_secret: "<Your API SECRET>"
});

// Register your service.
filesrocket.register("cloudinary", service);

const app = express();

// Register your endpoint
app.post("/files", async (req, res) => {
  const controller = filesrocket.controller("cloudinary");

  const files = await controller?.create(req, {
    extnames: [".jpg", ".png", ".jpeg"]
  });

  res.status(200).json(files);
});

app.listen(3030, () => {
  console.log("App execute in port:3030");
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

With this simple example you can upload files to cloudinary. But remember that this is only the beginning, there is still more to discover, if you are interested I recommend you click here to visit the official documentation.
