I am creating API using express JS. Now, I have a router which will be used to upload image using multer.
Here is my router :
const multer = require('multer');
module.exports = (app) => {
const DIR = './public/';
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: (req, file, cb) => {
cb(null, DIR);
},
filename: (req, file, cb) => {
cb(null , file.originalname);
}
});
const upload = multer({ storage: storage });
// I have also tried this but not working
// const upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' });
app.post('/upload', upload.single('image'), (req, res, next) => {
res.status(201).json({
message: "File uploaded successfully"
});
});
}
Now, from my reactjs app I am calling this router using axios like this :
const headers = {
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"
}
const body = new FormData();
body.append('image', this.state.selectedCategoryImage);
axios.post('http://localhost:3000/upload', body, { headers }).then((res) => {
console.log(res);
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
In above code this.state.selectedCategoryImage is a selected image from html <input> tag.
Now, When I call this api I am getting my response "file uploaded successfully", but I am not able to see my uploaded image anywhere in public directory. My image is not uploading.
Please anyone can help me what's the issue ?
console.log(req.file.path)just beforeres.status(201)....?TypeError: Cannot read property 'path' of undefinedtype="file"inside your input tag?console.log(this.state.selectedCategoryImage)just before axios.post?
