how to upload multiple image in node.js using formidable with express

Question

I am trying to upload multiple image using jquery plugin jQuery File Upload.

I have got in post request like this, when I upload image:

app.post('/upload',function(req,res){
    var form = new formidable.IncomingForm(),
    files = [],
    fields = [];
    form.on('field', function(field, value) {
        console.log("field");
        fields.push([field, value]);
    });
    form.on('file', function(field, file) {
        console.log(file.name);
        console.log(JSON.stringify(field));
        files.push([field, file]);
    });
    form.on('end', function() {
         console.log('done');
    });
    form.parse(req);
});

Even I could not get console message.

When I upload image, that request contain file like this:

files: { files: [ [Object] ] },

How to solve this?

form.on(field) and file and end functions are not working.

You don't need to work directly with formidable to do that. The BodyParser() from express does what you want (it uses formidable).

Just refere to the doc: req.files
