How can I skip a file using multer upload if it is already on disk? It re-downloads and updates when I use the following code

attachments.component.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';

export default class FilesUploadComponent extends Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.onFileChange = this.onFileChange.bind(this);
        this.onSubmit = this.onSubmit.bind(this);

        this.state = {
            imgCollection: ''
        }
    }

    onFileChange(e) {
        this.setState({ imgCollection: e.target.files })
    }

    onSubmit(e) {
        e.preventDefault()

        let formData = new FormData();
        for (const key of Object.keys(this.state.imgCollection)) {
            formData.append('imgCollection', this.state.imgCollection[key])
        }
        axios.post("/api/attachments/upload", formData, {
        }).then(() => {}).catch(() => {})
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div className="container">
                <div className="row">
                    <form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
                        <div className="form-group">
                            <input type="text" name="FIO" />
                        </div>
                        <div className="form-group">
                            <input type="file" name="imgCollection" onChange={this.onFileChange} multiple />
                        </div>
                        <div className="form-group">
                            <button className="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Upload</button>
                        </div>
                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>
        )
    }
}

Ideally, I would like to first perform some operations in mongodb, then give the correct answer to the user, but to get the necessary data, I first save the files using multer. Tell me what I'm doing wrong

CodePudding user response：

Make use of the fileFilter function. Here's a full example:

const express = require('express')
const multer = require('multer')
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')

const app = express()
const port = 3000

const UPLOAD_DIR = '/tmp/'

const fileFilter = (req, file, cb) => {
    if (fs.existsSync(path.join(UPLOAD_DIR, file.originalname))) {
        console.log('skipped')
        cb(null, false)
        return
    }

    cb(null, true)
}

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: function (req, file, cb) {
        cb(null, UPLOAD_DIR)
    },
    filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        const fileName = file.originalname;
        cb(null, fileName)
    }
})

const upload = multer({
    fileFilter,
    storage,
});

app.post('/', upload.single('avatar'), (req, res) => {
    res.send('Uploaded!')
})

app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`)
})
