I'm doing project by a video, but the content seams to be out of date, because i've been runing into a lot of problems that the guy isn't. I'm fairly new to node js and firebase in fact i'm learning along the way.
My problem is that when I enter this function on() of bus boy my variable simply gets Undefined. I can't understand why. that leads to the URL storage in DB being :
"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/socialape-f5c4d.appspot.com/o/undefined?alt=media"
here is my code
const { db, admin } = require("../util/admin");
const config = require("../util/config");
const firebase = require("firebase");
firebase.initializeApp(config);
const {
validateSingnupData,
validateLoginData,
} = require("../util/validators");
exports.uploadImage = (request, response) => {
const BusBoy = require("busboy");
const path = require("path");
const os = require("os");
const fs = require("fs");
const busboy = new BusBoy({ headers: request.headers });
let imageFileName; // here it's been defined
let imageToBeUploaded = {};
busboy.on("file", (fieldname, file, filename, encoding, mimetype) => {
console.log(fieldname);
console.log(filename);
console.log(mimetype);
// image.png
const imageExtention = filename.split(".")[filename.split(".").length - 1];
//random imageFileName 2641654465.png for example
const imageFileName = `${Math.round(
Math.random() * 100000000000
)}.${imageExtention}`;
const filepath = path.join(os.tmpdir(), imageFileName);
imageToBeUploaded = { filepath, mimetype };
file.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(filepath));
});
console.log("imageFileName 1:" + imageFileName);
busboy.on("finish", () => {
console.log("imageFileName 2:" + imageFileName);
admin
.storage()
.bucket(config.storageBucket)
.upload(imageToBeUploaded.filepath, {
resumable: false,
metadata: {
metadata: {
contentType: imageToBeUploaded.mimetype,
},
},
})
.then(() => {
console.log("imageFileName 3:" + imageFileName);
const imageUrl = `https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/${config.storageBucket}/o/${imageFileName}?alt=media`;
console.log(imageUrl);
return db.doc(`/users/${request.user.handle}`).update({ imageUrl });
})
.then(() => {
return response.json({ message: "iamge uploaded succesfuly" });
})
.catch((err) => {
console.error(err);
return response.status(500).json({ error: err.code });
});
});
busboy.end(request.rawBody);
};
this is what i get in the console
