I'm trying to upload an image to the file system with Multer. Please take a look at the relevant data in my route:
const
..
multer = require('multer'),
..;
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, callback) {
callback(null, './uploads');
},
filename: function (req, file, callback) {
callback(null, req.params.id + file.originalname);
}
}),
upload = multer({storage: storage}).single('profilePic');
router.put(
'/:id',
middleware.isLoggedIn,
(req, res, next) => {
User
.findByIdAndUpdate(
req.params.id, req.body.user,
(err, updatedUser) => {
if (err) {
return req.flash('error', err.message);
}
upload(req, res, (err) => {
if (err) {
eval(locus);
return req.flash('error', err.message);
}
updatedUser = req.body.user;
eval(locus);
//redirect show page
res.redirect('/dashboard/profile/' + req.params.id + '/edit');
});
});
});
module.exports = router;
When I look at updatedUser the first thing I see is
{ profilePic: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,....}
what am I doing wrong? It's not even updating the page now that I have the upload function in here. What I really want to do is get the destination to work on s3 but I need to get this to save first.
