Basic Usage

import UploadFile from 'cloudku-uploader'

const uploader = new UploadFile()

// Simple upload
const result = await uploader.upload(fileBuffer, 'image.jpg')
console.log(`🌟 Success: ${result.result.url}`)

// Upload with expiry
const tempResult = await uploader.upload(
  fileBuffer, 
  'temp-file.pdf', 
  '7d'  // Expires in 7 days
)

💎 Advanced Examples

🎯 Express.js Integration

import express from 'express'
import multer from 'multer'
import UploadFile from 'cloudku-uploader'

const app = express()
const upload = multer({ limits: { fileSize: 100 * 1024 * 1024 } })
const uploader = new UploadFile()

app.post('/api/upload', upload.single('file'), async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const result = await uploader.upload(
      req.file.buffer,
      req.file.originalname,
      req.body.expiry || null
    )

    res.json({
      status: 'success',
      data: {
        url: result.result.url,
        filename: result.result.filename,
        size: result.result.size,
        type: result.result.type
      }
    })
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({
      status: 'error',
      message: error.message
    })
  }
})

🚀 Batch Upload with Progress

import UploadFile from 'cloudku-uploader'
import { createReadStream, readdirSync } from 'fs'
import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises'

class BatchUploader {
  constructor() {
    this.uploader = new UploadFile()
    this.results = []
  }

  async uploadDirectory(dirPath, options = {}) {
    const files = readdirSync(dirPath)
    const { concurrency = 3, expiry = null } = options

    console.log(`📦 Processing ${files.length} files...`)

    for (let i = 0; i < files.length; i += concurrency) {
      const batch = files.slice(i, i + concurrency)

      await Promise.all(
        batch.map(async (filename) => {
          try {
            const buffer = await this.readFileBuffer(`${dirPath}/${filename}`)
            const result = await this.uploader.upload(buffer, filename, expiry)

            this.results.push({
              filename,
              url: result.result.url,
              status: 'success'
            })

            console.log(`✅ ${filename} uploaded successfully`)
          } catch (error) {
            console.error(`❌ Failed: ${filename} - ${error.message}`)
            this.results.push({
              filename,
              status: 'failed',
              error: error.message
            })
          }
        })
      )
    }

    return this.results
  }

  async readFileBuffer(filePath) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const chunks = []
      const stream = createReadStream(filePath)

      stream.on('data', chunk => chunks.push(chunk))
      stream.on('end', () => resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks)))
      stream.on('error', reject)
    })
  }
}

// Usage
const batchUploader = new BatchUploader()
const results = await batchUploader.uploadDirectory('./uploads', {
  concurrency: 5,
  expiry: '30d'
})

console.table(results)

🌐 Next.js API Route

// pages/api/upload.js or app/api/upload/route.js
import UploadFile from 'cloudku-uploader'

const uploader = new UploadFile()

export async function POST(request) {
  try {
    const formData = await request.formData()
    const file = formData.get('file')

    if (!file) {
      return Response.json(
        { error: 'No file provided' }, 
        { status: 400 }
      )
    }

    const buffer = Buffer.from(await file.arrayBuffer())
    const result = await uploader.upload(
      buffer,
      file.name,
      formData.get('expiry') || null
    )

    return Response.json({
      success: true,
      data: result.result
    })

  } catch (error) {
    return Response.json(
      { error: error.message },
      { status: 500 }
    )
  }
}
