|
|
This package allows you generate fake in-memory files for varying sizes. The generated file can be used during testing to test the file uploads functionality of your Node server.
|
|
|
|
- Support for `docx`, `xlsx`, `pdf`, `png`, `jpg`, and `gif` files.
|
|
- Passes the [magic number file](https://gist.github.com/leommoore/f9e57ba2aa4bf197ebc5) validation.
|
|
- The file contents is kept in-memory Buffer. No files are written to the disk.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
Install the package from the npm registry as follows.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm i @poppinss/file-generator
|
|
|
|
# Yarn
|
|
yarn add @poppinss/file-generator
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Use the exported functions as follows.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import { generatePng } from '@poppinss/file-generator'
|
|
|
|
const {
|
|
contents,
|
|
size,
|
|
mime,
|
|
name
|
|
} = await generatePng('1mb')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `contents` is a buffer.
|
|
- `size` is the size of the file in bytes.
|
|
- `mime` is the mime type for the generated file.
|
|
- `name` is a randomly assigned unique name to the file.
|
|
|
|
You can also define a custom file name as the second argument.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
await generatePng('1mb', 'avatar.png')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage with form-data
|
|
You can pass the generated content to an instance of form data as follows.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import FormData from 'form-data'
|
|
|
|
const form = new FormData()
|
|
const file = await generatePng('1mb')
|
|
|
|
form.append('avatar', file.contents, {
|
|
filename: file.name,
|
|
contentType: file.mime,
|
|
knownLength: file.size,
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Points to note
|
|
|
|
- Only the first few bytes of the files are valid and rest of the bytes are empty. Therefore, further processing of the files will not work. For example: If you open the PDF file to read its content on the server, then using this package is not the right choice.
|
|
- Every file type has minimum bytes and you cannot generate files smaller than that. This is done to keep the initial bytes valid and them pass the standard validation rules.
