File Upload API using Express.js and TypeScript

This is a simple File Upload API built with Express.js and TypeScript. It allows users to upload and serve files, such as images or documents. You can customize this API for your specific needs and use it as a foundation for building file handling features in your applications.

Features

• Upload files (images, documents, etc.) to the server.
• Serve uploaded files to clients.
• Error handling and validation for uploaded files.
• TypeScript support for improved code quality.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Node.js and npm installed on your development machine.
• Basic knowledge of Express.js and TypeScript.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/FileUploadExpressTS.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd FileUploadExpressTS

Install dependencies:

npm install

Usage

Start the server:

npm start

The server will run on http://localhost:3000 by default. You can customize the port and other settings in the configuration files.

To upload a file, make a POST request to /upload with a multipart/form-data body containing the file to be uploaded. You can use tools like curl, Postman, or any HTTP client library to interact with the API.

Example using curl:

curl -X POST -F "file=@path/to/your/file.jpg" http://localhost:3000/api/file/upload (with token HEADER)

Replace path/to/your/file.jpg with the path to the file you want to upload.

The uploaded file will be stored on the server (the default storage location is uploads/), and you will receive a response with information about the uploaded file, including its URL.

To access the uploaded file, make a GET request to the provided URL.
