I've developed an app that's uploaded to Github and I'm using Heroku to host the (Backend folder) from Github using (automatic deployment) and also using Netlify to host the (Frontend folder) and it's working great in my local computer, but when I try to upload files from my form in frontend it sends a request to the backend and the backend it self saves the file to /uploads folder that's located in frontend directory.
My file structure is like this:
[Server]
- controllers
- - food.js
[Client]
- public
-- uploads
- src
-- pages
--- dashboard
---- food
----- AddFood.js
it's working great on localhost, and this is my code: (client) AddFood.js:
