Add StreamFileParam decorator

[blocosted]

In order to be able to pipe the request in express handlers implementations (stream) instead of using multer like typescript-rest is doing with FileParam decorator, the new StreamFileParam decorator will generate the correct swagger button for uploading binary file.

Could you help me understand how this is different from the @FileParam decorator? There doesn't seem to be anything different about the generated spec.

Also, please add some tests.

Hi Nick, sorry for the delay...

I just added some unit tests for @FileParam and @StreamFileParam parameters.

So, the difference between @FileParam and @StreamFileParam is simple.
@FileParam is interpreted by typescript-rest module as a Multer file element, and the content of the multipart request is consumed by the Http server.

With @StreamFileParam, nothing is done, and you still have the chance to pipe your request to another Http server in order to process streaming...

@tchambard Hi, did you get your StreamFileParam feature merged into the base typescript-rest project? I was about to implement a similar thing when I stumbled on this pr.

@ngraef I am really interested by this feature. Streams are different from files as they should be consumed (or piped elsewhere) inside rest handler as said by @tchambard .

Any news ?

@ngraef I close this PR to reopen a new one in order to rebase correctly my branch with master.

It could be really good to merge it as some other people are interrested...
