exports.upload = multer({storage})

post request with upload as middleware

route.post('/example',database.upload.single('file'),async (req,res)=>{
    res.json({file:req.file})
})

when I do a post request with postman there's no error but file doesn't upload on MongoDB neither the upload collection is being created.

I am calling the connectDB and createStorage from index.js

database.connectDB();
database.createStorage();

CodePudding user response：

I resolved it. the problem was

exports.upload = multer({storage})

this line of code was executed before calling of

database.createStorage();

so the the solution is

exports.createStorage = ()=>{
  storage = new GridFsStorage({
    url:process.env.MONGO_URL,
    // db:conn.connection.db,
    file: (req, file) => {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        crypto.randomBytes(16, (err, buf) => {
          if (err) {
            return reject(err);
          }
          const filename = buf.toString('hex')   path.extname(file.originalname);
          const fileInfo = {
            filename: filename,
            bucketName: 'uploads'
          };
          resolve(fileInfo);
        });
      });
    }
  });
  exports.upload = multer({storage})
}
