How to get data posted as form-data in express & fileupload

 In your express app install package express-fileupload

in app.js

const fileUpload = require("express-fileupload");

also add

app.use(fileUpload({

createParentPath: true,

useTempFiles: true,

tempFileDir: '/tmp/',

limits: {

fileSize: 1024 * 1024 * 1

},

abortOnLimit: true

}));

in users route add

var express = require('express');

var router = express.Router();

var path = require('path')

var moment = require('moment')

router.post('/fileupload', function (req, res, next) {

const profilePic = req.files.profilePic;

const extensionName = path.extname(profilePic.name); // fetch the file extension

const allowedExtension = ['.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg'];

if (!req.files) {

return res.status(400).send("No files were uploaded.");

}

if (!allowedExtension.includes(extensionName)) {

return res.status(422).send("Invalid Image");

}

var currentDate = new moment()

var dateString = currentDate.format('DDMMYYHHmmss')

var uploadPath = require('path').resolve('./')

uploadPath = uploadPath + '/public/uploads/profilePic/' + dateString + '_' + profilePic.name;

profilePic.mv(uploadPath, (err) => {

if (err) {

return res.status(500).send(err);

}

return res.send({ status: "success", body: req.body });

});

});

The posted form data will be in req.body while file in req.files
