TRACK FILE UPLOAD WITH NODEJS LANGUAGE

Palzin Track Nodejs Use Cases

Track when a file is uploaded to your NodeJs application

Many Nodejs applications require users to upload files. This can be a simple text file, a NodejsSV file, or even a PDF file to be processed for further use. Or in some cases, it can be some sort of media files such as an image, audio, or video file to be transformed and uploaded to cloud storage such as S3 or Google Nodejsloud Storage.

In such cases, you might want to track when a user uploads a file in your Nodejs application and optionally notify you and your team when a user uploads a file. This way, you can always be aware of the activity in your application and take immediate action if needed.

Fortunately, here at Palzin Track, we have created a powerful solution for this problem. Palzin Track is a powerful, real-time event tracking tool that works seamlessly with any Nodejs application. With Palzin Track, you can set up event tracking for anything you want and track when a user uploads a file in your Nodejs application in real time. In addition, Palzin Track allows you to track user journeys and create a timeline of events for each user. This way, you can always track the activity of a specific user, such as when they have uploaded files and any other activity they have done in your application.

Using NodeJs with Axios


var axios = require('axios');  


var data = JSON.stringify({  


 "project": "my-project",  


 "channel": "files",  


 "event": "Changed Profile Picture",  


 "description": "User has uploaded a new profile picture",  


 "icon": "🖼",  


 "notify": true  


});  


var config = {  


 method: 'post',  


 url: 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log',  


 headers: {   


 'Content-Type': 'application/json',   


 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'  


 },  


 data : data  


};  


axios(config)  


.then(function (response) {  


 console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));  


})  


.catch(function (error) {  


 console.log(error);  


});

Using NodeJs with Native


var https = require('follow-redirects').https;  


var fs = require('fs');  


var options = {  


 'method': 'POST',  


 'hostname': 'palzin.live',  


 'path': '/api/v1/log',  


 'headers': {  


 'Content-Type': 'application/json',  


 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'  


 },  


 'maxRedirects': 20  


};  


var req = https.request(options, function (res) {  


 var chunks = \[\];  


 res.on("data", function (chunk) {  


 chunks.push(chunk);  


 });  


 res.on("end", function (chunk) {  


 var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);  


 console.log(body.toString());  


 });  


 res.on("error", function (error) {  


 console.error(error);  


 });  


});  


var postData = JSON.stringify({  


 "project": "my-project",  


 "channel": "files",  


 "event": "Changed Profile Picture",  


 "description": "User has uploaded a new profile picture",  


 "icon": "🖼",
