server.js

const fs = require('fs');
const Hapi = require('hapi');

const server = Hapi.server({
    host: 'localhost', 
    port: Number(process.argv[2] || 8080)
});

server.route({
    method: 'POST',
    path: '/submit',
    handler: (request, h) => {

        const data = request.payload;
        if (data.file) {
            const name = data.file.hapi.filename;
            const path = __dirname + "/uploads/" + name;
            const file = fs.createWriteStream(path);

            file.on('error', (err) => console.error(err));

            data.file.pipe(file);

            data.file.on('end', (err) => { 
                const ret = {
                    filename: data.file.hapi.filename,
                    headers: data.file.hapi.headers
                }
                return JSON.stringify(ret);
            })
        }
        return 'ok';
    },
    options: {
        payload: {
            output: 'stream',
            parse: true,
            allow: 'multipart/form-data'
        }
    }
});

const init = async () => {

        await server.start();
        console.log(`Server running at: ${server.info.uri}`);
};

init();

It is very helping!

if the file size is less then 15 kb its not working

most of these old samples wont compile anymore.

Thank you so much the demo. It really helped 👍
