How to send a file without saving it to disk?

Question

Node.js

Hey! I have the following task: I receive a file from a client like this:

methods.uploadPhoto = (req, res) => {
  req.pipe(req.busboy);
  req.busboy.on('file', (fieldName, file, fileName) => {
    
  })	
};

The question is: is it possible to send further without saving the file to disk?

Answer 1

As I understand it, filethis is a data buffer from a file. Here you throw it into the content of the request and send it further.

Answer 2

You need to use a Stream for input and output.
