File Upload Example

This example demonstrates how to handle file uploads using Go Fiber.

Description

This project provides a basic setup for handling file uploads in a Go Fiber application. It includes examples for uploading single and multiple files, as well as saving files to different directories.

Requirements

• Go 1.18 or higher
• Git

Project Structure

• single/main.go: Example for uploading a single file to the root directory.
• single_relative_path/main.go: Example for uploading a single file to a relative path.
• multiple/main.go: Example for uploading multiple files.
• go.mod: The Go module file.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gofiber/recipes.git
   cd recipes/upload-file

2. Install the dependencies:

   go mod download

Running the Examples

Single File Upload

1. Navigate to the single directory:

   cd single

2. Run the application:

   go run main.go

3. Use a tool like curl or Postman to upload a file:

   curl -F "document=@/path/to/your/file" http://localhost:3000/

Single File Upload with Relative Path

1. Navigate to the single_relative_path directory:

   cd single_relative_path

2. Run the application:

   go run main.go

3. Use a tool like curl or Postman to upload a file:

   curl -F "document=@/path/to/your/file" http://localhost:3000/

Multiple File Upload

1. Navigate to the multiple directory:

   cd multiple

2. Run the application:

   go run main.go

3. Use a tool like curl or Postman to upload multiple files:

   curl -F "documents=@/path/to/your/file1" -F "documents=@/path/to/your/file2" http://localhost:3000/

Code Overview

single/main.go

Handles uploading a single file to the root directory.

single_relative_path/main.go

Handles uploading a single file to a relative path.

multiple/main.go

Handles uploading multiple files.

Conclusion

This example provides a basic setup for handling file uploads in a Go Fiber application. It can be extended and customized further to fit the needs of more complex applications.
