REFACTORING

Today I started extracting and refactoring the nightmare which is the FileInput in Patchcore. Great news is that it's significantly tidier, you can check out the work so far here : https://github.com/ssbc/patchbay-thread/blob/master/views/components/composer-attachments.js

I reworked the flow to use pull-streams, so that the core of the logic now looks like this :

pull(
  pull.values(files),
  pull.asyncMap(buildFileDoc),
  pull.asyncMap(imageProcess({ stripExif, resize })), // NOTE this also blobifies the data
  pull.drain(
    (doc) => AttachFile(doc, ev),
    (err) => {
      if (err) console.error(err)
    }
  )
)

SO CLEAN

BONUS

this refactoring enabled MULTIPLE FILE ATTACHMENT
e.g. select 5 photos from your adventuring. BOOM, attached

pull-streams meant this only took swapping file[0] for files on one line
