File uploading

[odd chasm]

Hey!
I need to add file uploading to my webapp, but all the uploading related things I can find in Remix are unstable? Are these fine to use in prod or does anyone know some other way? I need to save the files to the local server and then serve the images - can't use S3 or an external file host.

My exact use case is having an admin (HR member) upload images of internal tooling/whatever and then I should be able to display these images later to other unauthenticated users.

If I'm approaching this the wrong way I'm also open to suggestions. I'm mostly a Rails dev so the JS ecosystem is still a bit foreign.

They’re fine to use, unstable just means the api is liable to change

This is a good successor though https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mjackson/form-data-parser

Related to this, I was using local-file-storage and I wonder why it does not allow me to name the file being saved. It saves to a random name. Here is the source from mjackson: https://github.com/mjackson/remix-the-web/blob/main/packages/file-storage/src/lib/local-file-storage.ts

Probably to avoid accidentally overwriting files with the same name. You can always move / rename the files after they are uploaded.

Should be easy to patch package to add filename support, you’ll need to throw a good error if the write fails which in a quick skim I think it’s assuming collisions are too unlikely to handle that currently

But then can make a PR and see if Michael wants to include it

OK, thanks for replies.
