How to send xml file from Pug to Node JS-CodePudding

Hello I am building an app in which you upload an xml file and send it to an api. I am using Pug and NodeJS with Express. I am new to this. I created in pug the upload and send button and a function to receive on node the file. The frontend and backend are running on the same port. How can I send the xml file to the backend to read it and send it to the api ?

This is my code:

Pug:

    doctype html
html(lang='en')
 head
   title Transport
 body
   h3 Upload XML:
   form(method='post', enctype='multipart/form-data' action='/upload')
    input(type='file', name='xml')
    br
    input(type='submit', name='xml', value='Upload XML')

app.js file:

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
app.set('view engine', 'pug')
app.set('views', './src/views')
app.get('/', (req,res) => {
res.render('index')
});

app.get('/upload', (req,res) => {
    
})

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Listening on port 3000"))

It is my first app built with node and pug and this is why I am asking this easy question.

your method is mismatch.you should change your get method in app.js file to post method

change GET to POST and then your files will be in req.files property
