Streaming payloads with Hapi

command line stuff

$ npm install hapi joi

#A good way to test is this:
$ curl --form [email protected] localhost:8080/selfies

server.js

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var Fs = require('fs');
var Joi = require('joi');

var server = new Hapi.Server(8080);

var routeConfig = {
  validate: {
    payload: {
      file: Joi.string().required().description('file name for picture upload')
    }
  },
  payload: {
    output: 'stream',
    parse: true,
    allow: 'multipart/form-data'
  },
  handler: function (request, reply) {
    
    //create whatever writestream you want
    var image = Fs.createWriteStream(request.payload.file.hapi.filename);
    
    image.on('finish', function () {
      reply({status: 'ok!'});
    });
    
    request.payload.file.pipe(image);
  }
}

server.route({ method: 'POST', path: '/selfies', config: routeConfig });

server.start(function (err) {

  console.log('oh word?');
});
