It is very handful if we could have file's md5 or sha1 after upload, for example, when using it to check duplicated files, as a global unique file name or as database primary key etc.. I tried to do it by using req.file().pipe but I found it's extremely hard without reading through the file again (without hacking the adapter). So I modified skipper-disk package and added this feature. When giving an option
In the returned results, it will show file's hash. Example:
if
hash
option is not given, it will load nothing so there's no perfomance impact when we not using it.Since it's utilize the same pipe chain as
skipper-disk
's fs.createWriteStream, the overhead of hash calculation is minimal as well.
