how can I get a file, saved using gridform?

Question

I'm using gridform to save a file in gridfs, how can I get the file to return it to a user?

Answer 1

Possible solution, looking documentation here

gridfsstream = require('gridform/node_modules/gridfs-stream')
mongoose = require('mongoose')

var conn = mongoose.createConnection(..);
conn.once('open', function () {
  // oid: string representing object id, identifier of a gridfs file
  // res: express response object
  gridfsstream(conn.db, mongoose.mongo).createReadStream(oid).pipe(res);
})
