node / formidable - problem with documentation - how to save files to dir? - node.js

I 'am a newbie programmer.
Today I want to install and configuration formidable for my project.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/formidable
I have question:
where I find information about how to save files to dir? I see on npmjs example code with express.js, but in this code not include information about save, documentation also not included information about save files to dir.
How I should read that documentation like this? I will be grateful for any comments, probably at the moment I don't think like programmer.

The documentation says that files will be saved ...
You should try the examples before making random guesses.

Get data from file created by nwjs

I would like to extract real-time data from a file that does not have a .
this file is a history of an application developed with nwjs
file example:
do you have a solution to this problem?
That appears to be an SQLite database file. This question has nothing to do with NW.js and is poorly worded.
You probably want to use Better SQLite3. There are instructions for how to set it up there.

How to place text on image with nodejs without use of third-party libraries

Please explain, how can I add some text to the image with nodejs. I googled all day but didn't find a solution other than using libraries. Why is this done in php with one line of code, but with nodejs you need bunch of third-party code to be imported to your server? Thank you.

File Upload with MERN

I need some input, as I am a newbie when it comes to MERN. I would like to upload a file, such as a Word Docx file or text file, to my backend and execute an OS command on the file when received.
I see that there is a lot of express middleware that can be used for this task, such as Multer or Express-fileupload. Most of these libraries deal specifically with images though in examples.
I simply want to know what middleware the community would recommend for this specific case?
I'm on a MERN stack as well, and I'm using Multer. It took some getting used to as it was the first file upload library I've used, but overall I like it. I'd recommend. Express-fileupload seems pretty good as well. I think you'll be in good hands with either.

Implementing dropbox-content-hasher in electron node.js app

I have a fully functioning Electron App that uses node.js fs module to look at local files. I need to compare these files to files held on Dropbox. I have the Dropbox module all set up and running and have retrieved the content-hash for each file using the filesGetMetadata method and now I need to create a hash, in the same way, for each of my local files to compare to. I have found this code here: GitHub Repo written by Dropbox themselves, but being a relative newbie to Node.js and Electron I have only ever installed and 'required' node modules. This code just requires a js file (I tried to install the module, just in case!) and despite the js file I am implementing it on existing in the same directory as dropbox-content-hasher.js (like the example in the link) I can only get the error Uncaught Error: Cannot find module './dropbox-content-hasher' in my console. I've played with a few attempts at getting the right path but the error looks like it's still looking in the node_modules folder and I've no idea how to change this. Any help appreciated?!
I worked it out through trial and error... making the assumption from all my other requires that 'it' starts by looking in the node_modules folder, the following ended up working:
require('../src/js/dropbox-content-hasher.js');
Just thought I'd update this for anyone in my situation who doesn't quite know enough before embarking on a project!!

Parsing the .mp3 file to get the song's information in Titanium

guys! Recently, I'm struggled to parse the .mp3 file (or other types) to get the song's information (like: album title, album cover, song's name, singer, duration and size of the song etc.) in Titanium! Cause I can't find a good method in API to solve the problem (I had try Titanium Media, but never help), so I had try this node module musicmetadata. However there're some problems to apply the node-module in Titanium, although, here is a good suggestion but can't help me.
Here is the file tree after installed the musicmetadata:
According to the musicmetadata API, I have to state the follow code in my js file (Resources/ui/index.js):
var fs = require('fs');
var mm = require('musicmetadata');
However, as far as I know, the require method in Titanium just cover the range under the Resources directory. Here is my js files directory:
So, there're comes the error that can't find the module. Maybe there're have a bad way that just copy the module under the Resources/lib path may help, however it's not smart. The real problem is the fs module (this is which I can't understand, I supposed it's maybe point the filereader-stream node module that was included in the musicmetadata). How can I require the musicmetadata module properly in my js file? Or, Is there a good method to parse the mp3 file in Titanium API ? Guys, I need your help! Thanks in advance, and I'll so appreciate your suggestions or ideas!
You can't use NPM packages in Titanium apps. Only Resources will be packaged with your app and even if you would place the node_modules folder in there, Titanium's require() won't resolve it properly. And then there's the problem that the JavaScriptCore engine Titanium uses does not support the NodeJS APIs like fs. What you should do is use https://github.com/smclab/titaniumifier to convert musicmetadata in a single CommonJS file that you can require in Titanium. It shims fs and some other core NodeJS APIs and concats all musicmetadata JS files and its dependencies into one file.
