Express JS Error hrow new TypeError('app.use() requires middleware functions');

Question

What is wrong with my code here is my app.js file,When I hit the npm start it will give me the error like as follows :

TypeError('app.use() requires middleware functions');

I have used following code.

          var express = require('express');
          var path = require('path');
          var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
          var logger = require('morgan');
          var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
          var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
          var session = require('express-session');
          var expressValidator = require('express-validator');
          var passport = require('passport');
          var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
          var multer = require('multer');
          var flash = require('connect-flash');
          var mongo = require('mongodb');
          var mongoose = require('mongoose');
          var db = mongoose.connection;


          var index = require('./routes/index');
          var users = require('./routes/users');

          var app = express();

          // view engine setup
          app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
          app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

          app.use(multer({
            dest: './uploads'
          }));


          // uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
          //app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
          app.use(logger('dev'));
          app.use(bodyParser.json());
          app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
            extended: false
          }));
          app.use(session({
            secret: 'secret',
            resave: true,
            saveUninitialized: true
          }));
          app.use(passport.initialize());
          app.use(passport.session());
          app.use(expressValidator({
            errorFormatter: function(param, msg, value) {
              var namespace = param.split('.'),
                root = namespace.shift(),
                formParam = root;

              while (namespace.length) {
                formParam += '[' + namespace.shift() + ']';
              }
              return {
                param: formParam,
                msg: msg,
                value: value
              };
            }
          }));
          app.use(cookieParser());
          app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
          app.use(flash());
          app.use(function(req, res, next) {
            res.locals.messages = require('express-messages')(req, res);
            next();
          });


          app.use('/', index);
          app.use('/users', users);

          // catch 404 and forward to error handler
          app.use(function(req, res, next) {
            var err = new Error('Not Found');
            err.status = 404;
            next(err);
          });

          // error handler
          app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
            // set locals, only providing error in development
            res.locals.message = err.message;
            res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

            // render the error page
            res.status(err.status || 500);
            res.render('error');
          });

          module.exports = app;

On console I got the following output ,

TypeError: app.use() requires middleware functions at Function.use (C:\Users\Rohit Jain\Desktop\nodjs\userloginsystem\node_modules\express\lib\application.js:210:11) at Object.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

You don't use multer the right way. The problem is on line 27 of you app.js file. You should check this thread stackoverflow.com/questions/31496100/… — sheplu

You have used multer module without proper details , please check more documentation to here. Problem is that multer({dest:'./uploads/'}) return object, not middleware function.

Use following line at line number 27

app.use(multer({dest:'./uploads'}).any());

.any()

Accepts all files that comes over the wire. An array of files will be stored in req.files.

Following other options are there as follows :

.single(fieldname)
.array(fieldname[, maxCount])
.fields(fields)
.none()
.any()

For more detail please check same question to here.

Hope this will help you.
