Im trying to upload images with multer. Everything has worked before on localhost fine. Images get uploaded and i can view them from the url link the code provides. However once i have uploaded it on a server im starting to get this error : "Cannot GET /marketplace-api/rest-api/image/1650484814178.jpg".
I have not provided link to server/domains to the question in case people say thats the problem.
Here is my code:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const multer = require("multer");
const path = require("path");
const db = require('./db');
const cors = require('cors');
const port = 5000;
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true , limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(cors());
app.use("/image", express.static("image"));
let imageName = "";
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: path.join("./image"),
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
imageName = Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname);
cb(null, imageName);
},
});
const upload = multer({
storage: storage,
limits: { fileSize: 3000000 },
}).single("myImage");
app.post("/marketplace-api/rest-api/upload-image", (req, res) => {
upload(req, res, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
return res.status(201)
.json({ url: "http://link to domains/marketplace-api/rest-api/image/" + imageName });
}
});
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log("server run in port", port);
});
ok, few things, 1. you dont have any get functions, which means you cant post to this location, i suggest doing this:
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
});
and create a file called index.html, go on your site (localhost), and it should work, after that add a form in the html file, it should look something like this
<form action = "/marketplace-api/rest-api/upload-image" method = "POST">
<input type = "file" name="image">
<input type = "submit">
</form>
this will add a basic form where you can upload your photo. there are a few more stuff to add / change, i will fix everything and make it a repo then send it here
