Node Js file upload error using multer. File is undefined-CodePudding

I am trying to upload an image file in an express endpoint using multer but it is not working. I keep getting the 500 unexpected field error. I need to be able to read the image from the route

const router = require('express').Router();
const multer = require('multer');
const path = require('path');

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: './public/uploads/images',
    filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        cb(null, file.fieldname   '-'   Date.now()  
            path.extname(file.originalname));
    }
});

const upload = multer({ storage: storage, limits: { fieldSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024 } });

 *                              format: binary
 */
 
 router.post('/test', upload.single('featuredImage'), async (req, res) => {
    try {
        console.log(req.file)
    } catch (error) {
        res.send(error.message);
    }
});

CodePudding user response：

fileName should correspond to the field name given in multer reference, i.e. featuredImage, hence the error

try replacing it:

 *                      properties:
 *                          featuredImage:
 *                              type: string
 *                              format: binary
