API Project: freeCodeCamp File Metadata

This is my file metadata microservice for freeCodeCamp's last API project. Demo is available on my site. You can also check out my other freeCodeCamp projects.

User Stories

• I can submit a form object that includes a file upload.
• The form file input field has the name attribute set to upfile. We rely on this in testing.
• When I submit something, I will receive the file name, and size in bytes within the JSON response.

Example Usage

POST a file to the /api/filedata endpoint or go to the main page and upload a file using the provided form.

Example output:

{
  "name": "dnd.gif",
  "type": "image/gif",
  "size": 1256227
}

Tools Used

• ESLint linter with Airbnb's base config
• Express.js framework
• Multer middleware to handle form data
• Jest test framework
• Pug template engine
• Supertest library
