Multer callback when file is uploaded in the disk completely - node.js

Question

I have written the code for multer as shown below:
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination(req, file, callback) {
callback(null, './public/images')
},
filename(req, file, callback) {
profile_image = `${file.fieldname}-${Date.now()}${path.extname(file.originalname)}`;
callback(null, profile_image)
}
});
const xyz = (req, res) => {
upload = multer({
limits: {
fileSize: 1000000,
files: 2
},
storage,
fileFilter(req, file, callback) {
const ext = path.extname(file.originalname);
if (ext !== '.png' && ext !== '.jpg' && ext !== '.gif' && ext !== '.jpeg') {
return callback(res.end('Only images are allowed'), null)
}
callback(null, true);
}
}).any();
upload(req, res, err => {
})
upload starts working the moment there is no error in uploading file, but not when the file is uploaded successfully in the disk. So is there any other callback through which I can know when the file is successfully uploaded in the disk?

Try this it might solves your issue. You can check success in upload function in below example.
var Express = require('express');
var multer = require('multer');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = Express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());
var Storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, callback) {
callback(null, "./Images");
},
filename: function (req, file, callback) {
callback(null, file.fieldname + "_" + Date.now() + "_" + file.originalname);
}
});
var upload = multer({ storage: Storage }).array("imgUploader", 3); //Field name and max count
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
});
app.post("/api/Upload", function (req, res) {
upload(req, res, function (err) {
if (err) {
return res.end("Something went wrong!");
}
return res.end("File uploaded sucessfully!.");
});
});
app.listen(2000, function (a) {
console.log("Listening to port 2000");
});
Check in your upload function like this
upload(req, res, err => {
if (err) {
res.end("Something went wrong!");
}
res.end("File uploaded sucessfully!.");
}
