在api请求快递服务器nodejs中上传gzip文件

Question

I want to upload 'content-encoding:gzip' gzip file using express server in nodejs. I want to know what is the npm module I can use for better performance to receive and uncompress gzip file in request.

Answer 1

there are two methods to handle this. first

npm i compression --save

then in your server.js

const compression = require("compression");
server.use(compression());//make sure you use this  on top of the middlewares

Express middleware will compress your files at the point of request. Another solution is to let Webpack compress your files and create .gz versions of your uncompressed files.

npm i --save compression-webpack-plugin

this package uses "gzip" algorithm by default

in your webpack.config.js for production

const CompressionPlugin = require("compression-webpack-plugin");

plugins: [
      new CompressionPlugin(),
    ]

this will compress your assets files except jpeg images. because jpeg is already a compressed file type. now you need to tell express how to handle compressed files. for this install

  npm i express-static-gzip

in your server.js

 const expressStaticGzip = require("express-static-gzip");
    server.use(expressStaticGzip("dist"));//make sure you use this middleware first.

Webpack compression will compress your files one-time - during your build run. Those compressed versions are then saved to disk
