Plug.Upload
A server (a GenServer specifically) that manages uploaded files.
Uploaded files are stored in a temporary directory and removed from that directory after the process that requested the file dies.
During the request, files are represented with
a Plug.Upload struct that contains three fields:
:path- the path to the uploaded file on the filesystem:content_type- the content type of the uploaded file:filename- the filename of the uploaded file given in the request
Note: as mentioned in the documentation for Plug.Parsers, the :plug
application has to be started in order to upload files and use the
Plug.Upload module.
