Maintainer Wanted #412
Comments
@pornel sounds good. What's your NPM account? I'll give you access :). Thanks! |
I'm kornel on npm |
You can use https://github.com/pickhardt/maintainers-wanted badge, btw. |
I also can help when have time. I have Koajs package koa-better-body that uses formidable. It's about 3 years old and many users use it, and using it exactly because I'm all-lowercased |
Sure, the more the merrier. |
@tunnckoCore added you on gh and npm. @badeball added you only on gh since you didn't provide your npm handle. @ all: Thank you so much for offering your help. I'll leave it up to you if you just want to merge good PRs, or add new features. A lot of people depend on this library, so big API changes are probably undesirable at this point. Anyway, I'll mostly stay out of it, unless you need my help to break a tie on a discussion or similar. |
@felixge cool, thanks!
Maybe yea. First we should try to clear the most issues. We should add some more benchmarks against the other parsers like |
@Amit-A, I can add you to npm tomorrow. but anyway, I really want an org, it would do the things so much easier, at least to me. |
@tunnckoCore add me as well, I'd like to contribute back to this project. my npm account: uberthoth |
@tunnckoCore I just transfered the repo to the org. Let me know if you need anything else. Sorry it took so long. |
@felixge great! :) No problem, we are all busy these days, haha. |
are you still looking for help? I can help triage issues and PR's as well as do some small PR myself. |
@GrosSacASac sure! Unfortunately, I've not done anything in the last months, but I'm watching the repo and can review PRs and discuss things. You can start and I can add you to NPM later. |
@GrosSacASac, @xargs @quantumsheep sent you invitation for joining the org. |
I accepted, but I am still unable to add labels to existing issues, and close issues :( |
@GrosSacASac look now. :) I think it should be working. |
My name is Corey aka Hawaiideveloper. I would like to learn and contribute to this project. I like how the library works when extrapolating. |
go ? |
Contributions are welcome, I can add you later to the GitHub, npm is a bit stricter thing :) Code is a lot cleaner and better than before (and can be a lot better), so I hope it's easy to understand and navigate. Everything is in the issues and the comments, even with some v3 ideas. |
If someone has npm access, please help resolve #718 (comment) |
npm is also needed to publish v1.2.3 (7e07387) |
@MaxFichtelmann what's |
If I am correct 1.2.3 has a fix (2021) on top of 1.2.2 but was not published to npm |
Hm. Okay clear. I'll try. |
the change was a fix for #433 details: v1.2.1...v1.2.3 |
Ah, right. Thanks @MaxFichtelmann |
I don't even know how to test if form.pause() and resume work. We have 2 issues around this, and don't know where to start. |
I'm a maintainer on the widely-used 'winston' logger (w-b-t on npm; 2FA required for that b/c it's a top-100 package) and while I can't promise any active maintenance here, I might be able to chip in on occasion (example here). |
@wbt great, it's always better to have more hands and eyes. Can add you this next few days. Many things are commented and have opened issues for tracking. |
hello, it's my first time on open source project, I'm curious how parsing multi-part forms work |
@nagy-nabil welcome to open source! 👋 Formidable is a very old project (11 years), and its codebase might be a bit unintuitive. There are parts that sit there because of legacy reasons. To understand the flow and look on a bit more modern base you can check out formidable-mini that I created to play around a while ago, around the same parser. But the whole thing is significantly more small because there are many things that got into the JS/nodejs core like File and FormData. The even funnier thing is that in Nodejs v19.2+ (and in the future v20 LTS) there will be NO need for any package - just 15 lines of code around native things. For example: // example request handler (e.g. express middleware, or serverless)
function handler(req, res) {
// getting/"parsing" file uploads and fields in v19.2+
const resp = new Response(req, { headers: req.headers });
const form = await resp.formData();
console.log([...form.entries()]);
} This magic works, because the competitor package Btw, Formidable's parser is used in The parser itself... it's tricky but kind of easy to follow and understand (it's the least touched thing over the years), if you are into parsing in general tho, it's not my specialty.. haha. I think to write a new parser from scratch (for learning purposes) one day based on what I learned over the years here. Soon I'll buy a domain, create a website and write a long article around Formidable its past, present and future - the whole state of multipart parsing ("A letter to the stakeholders", haha). Because as you can see, its state and existence is... For 11 years, it's everywhere, in every 9 of 10 articles for nodejs multipart parsing and file uploads, even in Node's official website guide about file uploads. And it's STILL the most downloaded, 2x more than Busboy in fact - https://twitter.com/3a1fcBx0/status/1535663399291564047. |
I haven't maintained this module in a while*, and PRs are piling up.
If anybody is interested in helping out, I'm happy to give commit bits + npm package access.
To get access, please try to write 1-2 sentences that give me a reasonable hope you're not looking to put malicious code into the package and also mention your npm account name.
* For those curious about the "why?", I'm working with Go these days haven't been using node.js for over 3 years now.
