ShipThing provides a simple wrapper around Vercel Blob for file storage.

​
Usage

​
Server uploads

To use the storage package using Server Actions, follow the instructions on Vercel’s server action documentation.
page.tsx
import { put } from '@repo/storage';
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';
 
export async function Form() {
  async function uploadImage(formData: FormData) {
    'use server';
    const imageFile = formData.get('image') as File;
    const blob = await put(imageFile.name, imageFile, {
      access: 'public',
    });
    revalidatePath('/');
    return blob;
  }
 
  return (
    <form action={uploadImage}>
      <label htmlFor="image">Image</label>
      <input type="file" id="image" name="image" required />
      <button>Upload</button>
    </form>
  );
}
If you need to upload files larger than 4.5 MB, consider using client uploads.

​
Client uploads

For client side usage, check out the Vercel’s client upload documentation.
page.tsx
'use client';
 
import { type PutBlobResult } from '@repo/storage';
import { upload } from '@repo/storage/client';
import { useState, useRef } from 'react';
 
export default function AvatarUploadPage() {
  const inputFileRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);
  const [blob, setBlob] = useState<PutBlobResult | null>(null);
  return (
    <>
      <h1>Upload Your Avatar</h1>
 
      <form
        onSubmit={async (event) => {
          event.preventDefault();
 
          if (!inputFileRef.current?.files) {
            throw new Error('No file selected');
          }
 
          const file = inputFileRef.current.files[0];
 
          const newBlob = await upload(file.name, file, {
            access: 'public',
            handleUploadUrl: '/api/avatar/upload',
          });
 
          setBlob(newBlob);
        }}
      >
        <input name="file" ref={inputFileRef} type="file" required />
        <button type="submit">Upload</button>
      </form>
      {blob && (
        <div>
          Blob url: <a href={blob.url}>{blob.url}</a>
        </div>
      )}
    </>
  );
}
