Image uploading issue in MERN stack

Time:11-25

I am arslan chaudhry Mern stack develpore. I am an issue for the last 4 days. I am unable to upload images in the MERN stack. I am using Axios in ReactJS for this purpose. I have created a state and then use it post request. Like This:

const [FormInfo, setFormInfo] = useState({productName:"",image:""})
//function for setting state
  let names;
  const setInputsData = (e) => {
    names = e.target.name;
    setFormInfo({
      ...FormInfo,
      [names]: e.target.value,
    });
  };
const submiteDataNow = async (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  const res = await axios.post("/Create_Post", FormInfo);
  };
FORM
        <form method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data">
         <input name="ProductName" onChange={setInputsData}/>
         <input type="file" name="images" accept="image/*" onChange={(e) => {
           FormInfo.images = e.target.files;}} multiple />
         <input onClick={submiteDataNow} type="submit" />
        <form />

But I am receiving an empty image object in the backend. Like:

Dear seniors please also share code about how I can upload pics in NodeJS using multer.

CodePudding user response:

I would like to see the backend as well. Are you using multer? You can read this article as it explains the file uploading in MERN using Multer. https://abbasimusab2000.medium.com/mern-stack-uploading-files-with-multer-dd86213f3cef

CodePudding user response:

maybe because you are not setting state using callback setFileInfo instead youre setting it using the variable FileInfo . State should not be modified in this way
