Multer fileFilter is not getting called and req.body is empty
0
for some reason the fileFilter on multer is not getting called.
here is my Controller (i am using express routers)
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const UploadController = require('../controllers/UploadController');
router.route('/upload').post(UploadController.upload);
module.exports = router;
and this is the controller
const multer = require('multer');
const fs = require('fs');
module.exports = {
upload: function (req, res) {
let storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
console.log('here');
const filesDir = './uploads/' + req.body.ref;
if (!fs.existsSync(filesDir)) {
fs.mkdirSync(filesDir);
}
cb(null, filesDir);
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
let extArray = file.mimetype.split("/");
let extension = extArray[extArray.length - 1];
cb(null, req.body.type + '-' + Date.now() + '.' + extension);
},
fileFilter : function (req, file, cb) {
if (!file.originalname.match(/.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$/)) {
return cb(new Error('Only image files are allowed!'), false);
}
cb(null, true);
}
})
const upload = multer({ storage: storage }).single('file');
upload(req, res, function (err) {
if (err instanceof multer.MulterError) {
res.send({
error: err
});
} else if (err) {
res.send({
error: err
});
}else{
res.send({
file: req.file,
body: req.body
});
}
});
}
}
I have following issues:
- The fileFilter function is not even called so its not validating files
- the req.body on the upload function (upload: function (req, res)) is empty it is only available in diskStorage and last upload function (upload(req, res, function (err)) so i cannot validate the body data also.
