Hi, I have a similar error to the one above.
server.get('/:file_id', function(req , res) {
var file_id = req.params.id;
console.log(file_id);
gfs.files.find({_id: file_id}).toArray(function (err, files) {
if (err) {
res.json(err);
}
if (files.length > 0) {
var mime = files[0].contentType;
var filename = files[0].filename;
res.set('Content-Type', mime);
res.set('Content-Disposition', "inline; filename=" + filename);
var read_stream = gfs.createReadStream({_id: file_id});
read_stream.pipe(res);
} else {
res.json(file_id+ ' This file does not exist.');
}
});
});Below is a ejs file that gets file_id to server.
<div class="card card-body mb-3">
<%= file.filename %>
<form action="/:<%= file._id %>" method="get">
<input type="submit" value="DOWNLOAD" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">
</form>
</div>What I get from this code is : "undefined This file does not exist."
I think the problem lies on req.params.id but am not sure where to fix.
Thank you.
