Nestjs storage

This package allow the management of your projects uploaded files using differents strategies

Installation

yarn add @neoxia-js/nestjs-storage

Example of usage

Create an entity which extends the package storage.entity.ts

import { Entity, OneToMany } from 'typeorm';

import {
  Storage as StorageBase,
  StorageInterface,
} from '@neoxia-js/nestjs-storage';

import { User } from '../user/user.entity';

@Entity()
export class Storage extends StorageBase implements StorageInterface {}

this entity is the one where all your files informations will be stored, you have to put a relation between the original entity that needs the file and the storage entity

// user.entity.ts
import { Entity, Column, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, ManyToOne } from 'typeorm';
import { Storage } from '../storage/storage.entity';

@Entity()
export class User {
  // ...
  @OneToOne(() => Storage, { eager: true, cascade: true })
  @JoinColumn()
  thumbnail: Storage;
}

import the storage module in app.module.ts, you can use the exported multer config from StorageService to initialize the MulterModule

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm';
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';
import { MulterModule } from '@nestjs/platform-express';
import {
  StorageModule,
  StorageModuleConfig,
  StorageService,
} from '@neoxia-js/nestjs-storage';
import { MulterOptions } from '@nestjs/platform-express/multer/interfaces/multer-options.interface';

@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot({
      isGlobal: true,
      load: [databaseConfig, storageConfig],
      envFilePath: !ENV ? '.env' : `.env.${ENV}`,
    }),
    TypeOrmModule.forRootAsync({
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) =>
        configService.get('database'),
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
    StorageModule.registerAsync({
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      useFactory: (configService: ConfigService): StorageModuleConfig =>
        configService.get('storage'),
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
    MulterModule.registerAsync({
      imports: [StorageModule],
      useFactory: (storageService: StorageService): MulterOptions =>
        storageService.getMulterConfig(),
      inject: [StorageService],
    }),

do not forget to import the ServeStaticModule if the used strategy is local (and if you need it)

// app.moduke.ts

@Module({
  imports: [
    // ...
    ServeStaticModule.forRoot({
      rootPath: join(process.cwd(), '.', 'public'),
    }),
})

here is un example of StorageModuleConfig

// src/config/storage.config.ts

import { registerAs } from '@nestjs/config';
import { StorageModuleConfig, STORAGE_KINDS } from '@neoxia-js/nestjs-storage';

export default registerAs('storage', (): StorageModuleConfig => ({
  defaultFileSystem: process.env.FILE_SYSTEM || STORAGE_KINDS.LOCAL,
  maxFileSize: parseInt(process.env.MAX_FILE_SIZE),
  fileSystems: {
    someLocalFileSystem: {
      strategy: STORAGE_KINDS.LOCAL,
      baseUrl: process.env.BASE_URL || 'http://localhost',
      publicDir: process.env.PUBLIC_DIR || 'public',
      destinationDir: process.env.STORAGE_DIR || 'storage',
    },
    someAzurePrivateFileSystem: {
      strategy: STORAGE_KINDS.AZURE,
      connectionString: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING,
      container: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER,
      sasTime: parseInt(process.env.AZURE_SAS_TIME),
      isPublic: false,
    },
    azurePublicFileSystem: {
      strategy: STORAGE_KINDS.AZURE,
      connectionString: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING,
      container: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_PUBLIC_CONTAINER,
      isPublic: true,
    },
  },
}));

now the multer configuration used by the FileInterceptor will be the one retrived by the storageService.getMulterConfig() and every eagered storage entity will have at least the properties

fieldname
originalname
mimetype
path
url

the function getMulterConfig accepts the fileSystem name as argument, default is the defaultFileSystem

where url is the autogenerated (not in database) url of the media

this url is also generated using the shaed access signature (only for azure strategy for now), allowing the url to be public for a short period of time

Config description

{
  defaultFileSystem: "someLocalFileSystem", // fileSystem kind, it must be one of the "fileSystems" key property
  maxFileSize: 8000000, // max file size in bytes, default 8000000
  fileSystems: {
    someLocalFileSystem: {
      strategy: "local", // only "local" or "azure" for now
      baseUrl: 'http://localhost', // url of the server
      publicDir: 'public', // server public directory, default 'public'
      destinationDir: 'storage', // server image directory inside publiic directory, default 'storage'
    },
    someAzureFileSystem: {
      strategy: "azure", // only "local" or "azure" for now
      connectionString: "", // azure bucket connection string
      container: "", // azure bucket container name
      sasTime: 100, // azue public sas url time validity (in minutes) default 100
      isPublic: false, // the container (and so the image) is publicly accessible or not
      // even if the property is set to true, but the container already exists and it is private,
      // the image won't be publicly accessible
    },
  }
}

TO DO

  • tests
  • improve documentation
  • custom compute filename function for all strategies
  • ...
