Here is a detailed step-by-step guide on how upload large files using tus node server, including code snippets and explanations.
1. Setting Up the Tus Node Server Container [2]:
First, create a Docker container for your Tus Node server. This server will handle the file upload process and store the files on the hard disk. Here's a simplified example of how to create a Tus Node server container:
```Dockerfile
# Dockerfile for Tus Node server
FROM node:14
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 1080
CMD ["node", "app.js"]
```
In this example, we're using Node.js for the Tus server. You should adapt it to your specific setup.
2. Setting Up the Aqueduct Dart Server:
Now, let's configure your Aqueduct Dart server to communicate with the Tus Node server for file uploads. Install the necessary dependencies for handling HTTP requests:
```yaml
# pubspec.yaml for Aqueduct Dart server
dependencies:
aqueduct: ^4.0.0
http: ^0.13.3
```
Next, create a controller in your Aqueduct server to handle the file upload requests. Here's an example:
```dart
// file_upload_controller.dart
import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:aqueduct/aqueduct.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
class FileUploadController extends ResourceController {
@Operation.post()
Future<Response> uploadFile() async {
// Get the file from the request
final body = await request.body.decode();
// Send a POST request to the Tus Node server to create a new upload
final tusResponse = await http.post('http://tus-node-server:1080/files/', body: body);
if (tusResponse.statusCode == 201) {
// File upload initiated successfully, return a response to the client
return Response.ok({'message': 'File upload initiated'});
} else {
// Handle the error
return Response.serverError();
}
}
}
```
In this code, we send a POST request to the Tus Node server to initiate the file upload when a client sends a file to the Aqueduct server.
3. Flutter Client-Side Code [1]:
On the Flutter client-side, you can use the `tus_client` package to upload files using the Tus protocol. Make sure to add the `tus_client` package to your `pubspec.yaml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
tus_client: ^2.0.0
```
Here's an example of how to upload a file from your Flutter app:
```dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:tus_client/tus_client.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
final tusClient = TusClient('http://aqueduct-server/upload'); // Replace with your Aqueduct server URL
Future<void> uploadFile() async {
final file = File('path/to/your/file');
final tusUpload = await tusClient.createUpload(file);
// Start the upload
await tusUpload.start();
// Check the upload progress
tusUpload.progressStream.listen((progress) {
print('Upload progress: $progress');
});
// Wait for the upload to complete
await tusUpload.complete();
print('File uploaded successfully');
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('Tus File Upload'),
),
body: Center(
child: ElevatedButton(
onPressed: uploadFile,
child: Text('Upload File'),
),
),
);
}
}
```
This Flutter code sets up a simple UI with a button to trigger the file upload process using the `tus_client` package.
4. Docker Compose Configuration:
To ensure the Aqueduct server and Tus Node server containers can communicate, use Docker Compose to define the services and their networks. Here's a simplified `docker-compose.yml`:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
aqueduct-server:
build:
context: ./aqueduct-server
ports:
- "8080:8080"
networks:
- tus-network
tus-node-server:
build:
context: ./tus-node-server
ports:
- "1080:1080"
networks:
- tus-network
networks:
tus-network:
```
Make sure to adjust the `context` paths and ports according to your actual project structure and requirements.
5. Running the Services:
After setting up your containers and configuring your services, you can run them using `docker-compose up`.
Please note that this is a simplified example, and you may need to adapt it to your specific project requirements, security considerations, and production needs.
