I don't see you calling any API to upload file on click of submit button. Let me give you more comprehensive implementation.
multer config in app.js
app.use(multer({
dest: './uploads/',
rename: function (fieldname, filename) {
return filename.replace(/W+/g, '-').toLowerCase() + Date.now()
},
onFileUploadStart: function (file) {
console.log(file.fieldname + ' is starting ...')
},
onFileUploadData: function (file, data) {
console.log(data.length + ' of ' + file.fieldname + ' arrived')
},
onFileUploadComplete: function (file) {
console.log(file.fieldname + ' uploaded to ' + file.path)
}
}));
View
<form id="uploadProfilePicForm" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/user/profile_pic_upload" method="post">
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" id="userPhotoInput" name="userPhoto" accept="image/*" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
End point '/user/profile_pic_upload' POST calls uploadProfilePic in controller
var control = require('../controllers/controller');
app.post('/user/profile_pic_upload',control.uploadProfilePic);
Upload profile pic logic in users controller
uploadProfilePic = function(req,res){
// get the temporary location of the file
var tmp_path = req.files.userPhoto.path;
// set where the file should actually exists
var target_path = '/Users/narendra/Documents/Workspaces/NodeExpressWorkspace/MongoExpressUploads/profile_pic/' + req.files.userPhoto.name;
// move the file from the temporary location to the intended location
fs.rename(tmp_path, target_path, function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
// delete the temporary file, so that the explicitly set temporary upload dir does not get filled with unwanted files
fs.unlink(tmp_path, function() {
if (err) {
throw err;
}else{
var profile_pic = req.files.userPhoto.name;
//use profile_pic to do other stuffs like update DB or write rendering logic here.
};
});
});
};
