Answer 1

in node I have used multer for upload image or anything.
Below is the code for upload which I have used as a middleware.
const util = require("util");
const path = require("path");
const multer = require("multer");
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, "./Uploads") // folder path where to upload
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, file.originalname + "-" + Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname))
}
});
const maxSize = 1 * 20000 * 20000; // file size validation
const uploadFiles = multer({ storage: storage, limits: { fileSize: maxSize } }).array("myfiles", 10); // key name should be myfiles in postman while upload
const uploadFilesMiddleware = util.promisify(uploadFiles);
module.exports = uploadFilesMiddleware;
Below is the function which I have created in controller for upload and file check.
fileUpload = async (req, res) => {
try {
let userCode = req.headers.user_code;
await upload(req, res);
if (req.files.length <= 0) {
return res.status(httpStatusCode.OK).send(responseGenerators({}, httpStatusCode.OK, 'Kindly select a file to upload..!!', true));
}
let response = [];
for (const element of req.files) {
let data = await service.addFileData(element, userCode);
response.push(data); // for file path to be stored in database
}
if (response && response.length > 0) {
return res.status(httpStatusCode.OK).send(responseGenerators(response, httpStatusCode.OK, 'File uploaded sucessfully..!!', false));
} else {
return res.status(httpStatusCode.OK).send(responseGenerators({}, httpStatusCode.OK, 'Failed to upload file kindly try later..!!', true));
}
} catch (error) {
logger.warn(`Error while fetch post data. Error: %j %s`, error, error)
return res.status(httpStatusCode.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR).send(responseGenerators({}, httpStatusCode.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, 'Error while uploading file data', true))
}
}
and the route will go like this.
router.post('/upload/file', fileUploadController.fileUpload);
And be sure to keep same name in postman while file upload as in middleware.
