How to upload a file to the server (Node.js) - node.js

Question

Don't upload photos to the server, how to solve this problem?
on the page index.ejs a photo gallery should be generated from the added entries. The entry contains a photo. The entry is added, but the photo doesn't load.

app/routes.js:
var upload = multer({
storage: storage,
limits: {fileSize: 7},
fileFilter: function (req, file, cd) {
checkFileType(file, cd);
}
}).single('filePhoto');
function checkFiletType(file, cd) {
const fileTypes = /jpeg|jpg/;
const extname = fileTypes.test(path.extname(file.originalname).toLowerCase());
const mimetype = fileTypes.test(file.mimetype);
if (extname && mimetype) {
return cd(null, true);
} else {
cd('Error: only JPEG or JPG!')
}
var Photo = require('../app/models/photo');
module.exports = function (app, passport) {
app.get('/', function (req, res,next) {
Photo.find({}, function (error, photos) {
var photoList = '';
res.render('index.ejs', {photoList: photos});
});
});
}
app.post('/addPhoto', function (req, res, next) {
next();
}, function (req, res) {
var newPhoto = new Photo(req.body);
newPhoto.save().then(function (response) {
console.log('here', response);
res.status(200).json({code: 200, message: 'OK'});
}).catch(function (error) {
console.error('new photo error', error);
});
},function (req, res) {
Photo.find({}, function (error, photos) {
res.send('index.ejs', {
photoList: photos
});
});
});
};

You need to pass your upload var as middleware to your upload route.
Here is a snippet from how I have done it previously:
// Route:
const storage = multer.memoryStorage()
const upload = multer({ storage: storage })
router.post('/upload', upload.single('photo'), ImageController.upload);
// Image Controller:
upload(req, res){
console.log("file", req.file)
}
When I post my image, I make sure I call it photo to match the key word I used in my multer middleware:
So I create my form data like so:
const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('photo', {
uri: data.uri,
type: 'image/jpeg',
});
axios.post(`${SERVER}/images/upload`,
formData: formData,
{ headers: {
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
}
})
.then(response => console.log("response", response))
.catch(err => console.log('err', err))
