formidable VS multiparty

Instantiate a multipart/form-data parser using a library called formidable

import formidable from 'formidable'; /** * @see https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/server-engine * @see https://github.com/unjs/h3 */ export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => { let body; const headers = getRequestHeaders(event); if (headers['content-type']?.includes('multipart/form-data')) { body = await parseMultipartNodeRequest(event.node.req); } else { body = await readBody(event); } console.log(body); return { ok: true }; }); /** * @param {import('http').IncomingMessage} req */ function parseMultipartNodeRequest(req) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { /** @see https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/ */ const form = formidable({ multiples: true }) form.parse(req, (error, fields, files) => { if (error) { reject(error); return; } resolve({ ...fields, ...files }); }); }); }

For the body-parser implementation, we'll use formidable npm module:
