const app = require('express')();
const PORT = 8080;
const multer = require('multer')
bodyParser = require('body-parser')
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.listen(
PORT,
() => console.log(`it's alive on http://localhost:${PORT}`)
)
app.post('/user/self/pic', (multer({
dest: '../uploads'
}).single('image'), (req,res) => {
console.log(req.file)
}))
I'm building this most basic app using node.js. There's no front end implementation as our instructor doesn't allow any. Normally req.file will return basic info of the post request, but I tried many times and I'm getting undefined.
It seems there is a miss using in parentheses, try it:
app.post('/user/self/pic', multer({ dest: '../uploads' }).single('image'), (req, res) => {
console.log(req.file);
});
And it is a better version:
const uploader = multer({ dest: '../uploads' }).single('image');
app.post('/user/self/pic', uploader, (req, res) => {
console.log(req.file);
});
