Modify upload provider with custom path

DMehaffy · October 21, 2020, 8:34pm

It may be worth it to take a look at the strapi-provider-upload-aws-s3 provider that we manage ourselves, as this currently is the only provider we natively support that also has a path option (sent with the upload request):

github.com

strapi/strapi/blob/81c684d7b4ae6649bf701be119c740234a5f2d12/packages/strapi-provider-upload-aws-s3/lib/index.js#L19-L44

    
      
          return {
            upload(file, customParams = {}) {
              return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
                // upload file on S3 bucket
                const path = file.path ? `${file.path}/` : '';
                S3.upload(
                  {
                    Key: `${path}${file.hash}${file.ext}`,
                    Body: Buffer.from(file.buffer, 'binary'),
                    ACL: 'public-read',
                    ContentType: file.mime,
                    ...customParams,
                  },
                  (err, data) => {
                    if (err) {
                      return reject(err);
                    }
          
          
          // set the bucket file url
                    file.url = data.Location;

As for modification you are correct that you should fork the package and you can drop it in the ./plugins folder (will need to create this folder if you don’t have one), or you can push it into GitHub and use the GitHub packages / NPM to release a modified version.

Alternatively the original author of that provider is quite active in the community and is very open to pull requests, you may want to talk with her @Lith

The repo for that provider is located here: GitHub - Lith/strapi-provider-upload-google-cloud-storage: Google Cloud Storage Upload Provider for Strapi
