I tried to upload file as well as text data from the api,so i have write multipart api for getting file and text data from the res in nodejs for getting file i am using multer module but now i am getting undefined or null in req.files & req.file. I'm trying to upload a file using multer and below are the code snippets :

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
var multer = require('multer');
var upload = multer();

app.post('/api/upload', upload.single('photo'),function (req, res, next) {
    let data = req.body;
    let file = req.file;
    console.log(data)
    console.log(file)
    return res.status(200).send(data)
})

Response of this api always return null and undefined

functions: Beginning execution of "app"
>  [Object: null prototype] {}
>  undefined

and i am passing two parameters from the api

  1. photo which is a type of file
  2. name parameter which is type of string
    and i have pass this data from Form-data formate

var upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })

Specify the destination file storage location for multer. The file can be then accessed in the same way as you are doing from req.file

Firstly you have to provide the storage location where you can specify storage of your files like this.

var upload = multer({ storage: location});

const location = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, './your_folder_name')
}
