FileStorage Plugins

withFileStoragePrefix plugin

The FileStorage prefix plugin intercepts calls to a file-storage adapter and transparently prefixes all file keys with a configurable string. This enables logical key namespacing without modifying the adapter implementation.

Use cases

Multi-tenant storage — Prefix file keys with a tenant identifier to isolate files between tenants
Environment isolation — Separate development, staging, and production file storage
Directory scoping — Organize files into virtual directories by prepending a path prefix
Bucket consolidation — Use a single storage bucket/container with namespaced keys instead of multiple buckets

How it works

The withFileStoragePrefix function returns a PluginFn that calls enhance on each adapter method that accepts a file key. When an enhanced method is invoked, the plugin intercepts the call, prepends the configured prefix to the key argument, and forwards the modified arguments to the original method.

The plugin prefixes keys for the following methods:

Method	Key argument	Pattern
`getPublicUrl`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`getSignedDownloadUrl`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`getSignedUploadUrl`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`exists`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`getStream`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`getBytes`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`getMetaData`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`put`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`putStream`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`
`copy`	first and second argument (`source`, `destination`)	`prefix + source`, `prefix + destination`
`move`	first and second argument (`source`, `destination`)	`prefix + source`, `prefix + destination`
`removeMany`	first argument (`keys`)	`keys.map(k => prefix + k)`
`removeByPrefix`	first argument (`key`)	`prefix + key`

Copy and move behavior

For the copy and move methods, both the destination and source keys are prefixed.

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-prefix.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStoragePrefix } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the prefix plugin to the adapter
const prefixedAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStoragePrefix("tenant-42/"),
);

Before/after behavior

Before — File keys are used as-is:

./samples/unprefixed-get-bytes.ts
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

await adapter.getBytes("uploads/report.pdf");
// -> retrieves "uploads/report.pdf"

After — File keys are automatically prefixed:

./samples/prefixed-get-bytes.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStoragePrefix } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the prefix plugin to the adapter
const prefixedAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStoragePrefix("tenant-42/"),
);

await prefixedAdapter.getBytes("uploads/report.pdf");
// -> retrieves "tenant-42/uploads/report.pdf"

danger

Because withPlugin uses enhance under the hood, the same edge case applies: if one enhanced method internally calls another enhanced method via this, the middleware will apply twice. Be mindful of inter-method calls when applying plugins that enhance multiple methods on the same instance.

info

For more information about the withPlugin function and applying plugins to adapters, see the Middleware plugin documentation.

Multiple keys — `removeMany`

The removeMany method receives an array of keys. The plugin maps over the array, prefixing each entry:

./samples/remove-many-prefix.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStoragePrefix } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the prefix plugin to the adapter
const prefixedAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStoragePrefix("tenant-42/"),
);

await prefixedAdapter.removeMany(["a.pdf", "b.pdf"]);
// -> prefixedAdapter.removeMany(["tenant-42/a.pdf", "tenant-42/b.pdf"])

withFileStorageKeyValidator plugin

The FileStorage key validator plugin validates every file key before it reaches a file-storage adapter. When a key fails validation, an InvalidKeyFileError is thrown and the underlying adapter method is never invoked.

Use cases

Path traversal protection — Reject keys containing ../ to prevent escaping the intended storage directory
Input sanitization — Block keys containing control characters such as newlines or tabs
Empty key detection — Reject keys that are empty or consist only of whitespace
Custom validation rules — Provide your own validator to enforce project-specific key constraints

How it works

The withFileStorageKeyValidator function returns a PluginFn that calls enhance on every adapter method that accepts a file key. When an enhanced method is invoked, the plugin runs the key through the configured validator before forwarding the call. If the validator returns an error message, the plugin throws an InvalidKeyFileError and the adapter method is never invoked.

By default the plugin uses the built-in defaultKeyValidator, which rejects keys that contain "../", a newline (\n), or a tab (\t), as well as keys that are empty or consist only of whitespace. A custom validator can be supplied as the first argument.

The plugin validates keys for the following methods:

Method	Key argument
`getPublicUrl`	Single key
`getSignedDownloadUrl`	Single key
`getSignedUploadUrl`	Single key
`exists`	Single key
`getStream`	Single key
`getBytes`	Single key
`getMetaData`	Single key
`put`	Single key
`putStream`	Single key
`copy`	Source and destination
`move`	Source and destination
`removeMany`	Multiple keys
`removeByPrefix`	Single key (prefix)

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-key-validator.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageKeyValidator } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the key validator plugin to the adapter
const validatedAdapter = withPlugin(adapter, withFileStorageKeyValidator());

Custom validator

./samples/file-storage-key-validator-custom.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageKeyValidator } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the key validator plugin with a custom validator
const validatedAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStorageKeyValidator((key) => {
        if (key.startsWith("temp/")) {
            return "Keys under temp/ are not allowed";
        }
        return null;
    }),
);

withFileStorageLowerCase plugin

The FileStorage lowercase plugin intercepts calls to a file-storage adapter and lowercases every file key before it reaches the underlying adapter. This enforces a consistent, case-insensitive key format without modifying the adapter implementation.

Use cases

Normalized keys — Store and retrieve files with a consistent lowercase key format
Case-insensitive lookups — Avoid duplicate files that differ only by case
Cross-system consistency — Match keys to systems that are case-sensitive or case-insensitive differently

How it works

The withFileStorageLowerCase function returns a PluginFn that calls enhance on every adapter method that accepts a file key. When an enhanced method is invoked, the plugin lowercases the key argument(s) and forwards the modified arguments to the original method.

The plugin lowercases keys for the following methods:

Method	Key argument	Pattern
`getPublicUrl`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`getSignedDownloadUrl`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`getSignedUploadUrl`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`exists`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`getStream`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`getBytes`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`getMetaData`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`put`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`putStream`	Single key	`key.toLowerCase()`
`copy`	Source and destination	both keys lowercased
`move`	Source and destination	both keys lowercased
`removeMany`	Multiple keys	each key lowercased
`removeByPrefix`	Single key (prefix)	`key.toLowerCase()`

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-lower-case.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageLowerCase } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the lowercase plugin to the adapter
const loweredAdapter = withPlugin(adapter, withFileStorageLowerCase());

withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnWrite plugin

The FileStorage write content-type plugin infers the content type from the file key extension when writing files or generating signed URLs. It uses the mime-types lookup to resolve a content type from the key extension, ensuring the stored or served content type matches the file extension.

Use cases

Correct content types — Automatically set the content type from the file key extension
Signed URL accuracy — Ensure signed download/upload URLs advertise the correct content type
Consistent metadata — Keep content types aligned with file extensions across writes

How it works

The withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnWrite function returns a PluginFn that calls enhance on the write and signed URL methods. When an enhanced method is invoked, the plugin resolves the contentType from the file key extension (via MIME lookup) and overrides the provided content type when a match is found. When the extension is unknown, the content type falls back to application/octet-stream, the most generic MIME type. Content type inference can be disabled per signed URL method through the plugin settings.

The plugin infers the content type for the following methods:

Method	Behaviour
`getSignedDownloadUrl`	Infers unless `inferSignedDownloadUrl: false`
`getSignedUploadUrl`	Infers unless `inferSignedUploadUrl: false`
`put`	Infers always
`putStream`	Infers always

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-infer-content-type-on-write.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnWrite } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the write content-type plugin to the adapter
const contentTypeAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnWrite(),
);

Disabling inference for signed URLs

./samples/file-storage-infer-content-type-disable-signed.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnWrite } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

const contentTypeAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnWrite({
        inferSignedDownloadUrl: false,
        inferSignedUploadUrl: false,
    }),
);

Settings

Option	Type	Default	Description
`inferSignedDownloadUrl`	`boolean`	`true`	Whether to infer the content type for signed download URLs
`inferSignedUploadUrl`	`boolean`	`true`	Whether to infer the content type for signed upload URLs

withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnRead plugin

The FileStorage read content-type plugin infers the content type from the file key extension when reading file metadata. It is meant for adapters that cannot save the content type of a file and instead need it inferred, such as the FsFileStorageAdapter. It enhances the getMetaData method so the returned metadata reports a content type that matches the file key extension.

Use cases

Accurate metadata — Report the correct content type for files based on their key extension
Backend compatibility — Normalize content types for backends that store generic or missing types

How it works

The withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnRead function returns a PluginFn that enhances the getMetaData method. When invoked, the plugin calls the underlying adapter to obtain the metadata, then resolves the contentType from the file key extension (via MIME lookup) only when the metadata's contentType is null; otherwise the existing content type is preserved. If the extension is unknown, the content type falls back to application/octet-stream, the most generic MIME type. If the file does not exist, null is passed through.

The plugin only affects the getMetaData method.

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-infer-content-type-on-read.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnRead } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the read content-type plugin to the adapter
const metadataAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnRead(),
);

info

For more information about the withPlugin function and applying plugins to adapters, see the Middleware plugin documentation.

withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnWrite plugin

The FileStorage write file-type plugin infers the content type from the actual file content when writing files. Unlike the extension-based content-type plugin, it detects the type from the bytes themselves using the file-type library, so files with misleading or missing extensions still get an accurate content type.

Use cases

Content-based detection — Detect the real content type from the file bytes
Misleading extensions — Correct content types when the file extension does not match the actual content
Streaming writes — Detect the type of streamed content while writing

How it works

The withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnWrite function returns a PluginFn that calls enhance on all write methods. When an enhanced method is invoked, the plugin detects the type of the provided data (via file-type) and replaces the provided content type with the detected MIME type when a match is found. When the file type cannot be detected, the content type falls back to application/octet-stream, the most generic MIME type. For streams, the plugin returns a transformed stream with the detected file type.

The plugin infers the content type for the following methods:

Method	Behaviour
`put`	Infers from buffer
`putStream`	Infers from stream

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-infer-file-type-on-write.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnWrite } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the write file-type plugin to the adapter
const fileTypeAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnWrite(),
);

withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnRead plugin

The FileStorage read file-type plugin infers the content type from the actual file content when reading file metadata. It is meant for adapters that cannot save the content type of a file and instead need it inferred, such as the FsFileStorageAdapter. It enhances the getMetaData method so the returned metadata reports a content type detected from the file bytes via the file-type library.

Use cases

Content-based metadata — Report the real content type detected from the file bytes
Misleading extensions — Correct content types when the stored file does not match its key extension

How it works

The withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnRead function returns a PluginFn that enhances the getMetaData method. When invoked, the plugin calls the underlying adapter to obtain the metadata. When the metadata's contentType is null, the plugin reads the file stream and detects its type via file-type. When a type is detected, the metadata content type is overridden; otherwise the content type falls back to application/octet-stream, the most generic MIME type. When the metadata already carries a content type, the plugin returns it as-is without any extra read. If the file does not exist, null is passed through.

Because the type is detected from the actual content, getMetaData additionally opens and reads a leading sample of the object (via getStream) whenever inference is required. This extra read is additional I/O on every getMetaData call that needs inference. If you only need the content type for files whose keys carry a well-known extension, prefer the extension-based withFileStorageInferContentTypeOnRead plugin, which inspects only the file key and performs no extra read.

The plugin only affects the getMetaData method.

Usage

./samples/with-file-storage-infer-file-type-on-read.ts
import { withPlugin } from "eridu-tech/middleware";
import { MemoryFileStorageAdapter } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/memory-file-storage-adapter";
import { withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnRead } from "eridu-tech/file-storage/plugins";

const adapter = new MemoryFileStorageAdapter();

// Apply the read file-type plugin to the adapter
const fileTypeAdapter = withPlugin(
    adapter,
    withFileStorageInferFileTypeOnRead(),
);
