Using Restify & Mongoose, I built a basic REST API. Everything is working fine as long as I send JSON content with application/json as a content.
But now I need to send an image along with content, so I switched to multipart/form-data for a specific route. And it don't seem to get the content at all.
Here’s the basic setup sent to my API with Insomnia:
Pretty simple. The Mongodb Model only require filename and url at the moment (I’ll deal with the file itself once this will work).
And this is what I get as a response from the server:
{
"code": "Internal",
"message": "Media validation failed: url: Path `url` is required., filename: Path `filename` is required."
}
So it’s saying it didn't got any of the fields content.
The Timeline shows that the fields have been sent:
> POST /medias HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:3030
> User-Agent: insomnia/6.0.2
> Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=X-INSOMNIA-BOUNDARY
> Accept: */*
> Content-Length: 221

| --X-INSOMNIA-BOUNDARY--
* We are completely uploaded and fine

Here’s my function:
server.post('/medias', (req, res, next) => {
if (!req.is('multipart/form-data')) {
return next(
new errors.InvalidContentError(`Expects 'multipart/form-data'`)
)
}
let data = req.body || {}
let media = new Media(data)
media.save((err) => {
if (err) {
return next(new errors.InternalError(err.message))
next()
}
res.send(201)
next()
})
})
A console.log on the req.body reveal that it’s empty. I’ve consoled the req itself to see if the datas could be stored anywhere else, but I couldn’t find anything.
What did I missed here? Thank you in advance.
