Today we will explore how to upload an file (image) into
mysql database using sequelize.
Lets first create a express application using express generator.
express --view=ejs express-postgres-upload-file
Here is my package.json whivh you can check to install required npm
packages,
{
"name": "express-mysql-upload-file",
"version": "0.0.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "node ./bin/www"
},
"dependencies": {
"cookie-parser": "~1.4.4",
"debug": "~2.6.9",
"dotenv": "^16.4.5",
"ejs": "~2.6.1",
"express": "~4.16.1",
"http-errors": "~1.6.3",
"morgan": "~1.9.1",
"multer": "^1.4.5-lts.1",
"pg": "^8.11.5",
"sequelize": "^6.37.3"
}
}
Here we are installing multer,dotenv,sequelize,mysql2 packages.
Run npm i.
create .env file in root folder with content
PG_USER=sangram
PG_PASSWORD="sangram#81"
PG_PORT=5432
PG_DATABASE=playground
PG_SERVER=localhost
Now add upload.js in root folder with ollowing content.
var multer = require("multer");
var storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: (req, file, cb) => {
cb(null, "./public/uploads/profile_pic/");
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
var fileparts = file.originalname.split(".");
var ext = fileparts[fileparts.length - 1];
cb(null, file.fieldname + "-" + Date.now() + "." + ext);
},
});
var upload = multer({ storage: storage });
module.exports = upload;
create models folder in root location & add image.js in it.
module.exports = function (sequelize, DataTypes) {
const Image = sequelize.define('image', {
imageId: {
type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
autoIncrement: true,
primaryKey: true
},
mimeType: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
},
fileName: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
field: 'name'
},
data: {
type: DataTypes.BLOB("long"),
}
}, {
freezeTableName: true
});
return Image;
}
Now create index.js inside model folder with following content
let { sequelize, Sequelize } = require("../connection.js");
let db = {};
db.Images = require("./image.js")(Sequelize,sequelize);
db.Sequelize = Sequelize;
db.sequelize = sequelize;
module.exports = db;
Now add uploads folder in public folder & inside uploads folder
add profile_pic folder.
Now create demo.js inside rotes folder with following content.
var express = require("express");
var router = express.Router();
var db = require("../models");
var upload = require("../uploads");
var fs = require("fs");
var path = require("path");
router.post("/", upload.single("image"), async (req, res, next) => {
try {
let imageCreated = await db.Images.create({
mimeType: req.file.mimetype,
fileName: req.file.filename,
data: fs.readFileSync(
path.join("./public/uploads/profile_pic/" + req.file.filename)
),
});
res.json({
success: true,
message: "File Uploaded to Mysql Successfully",
data: imageCreated,
});
} catch (exp) {
res.json({ success: false, message: exp.message.toString() });
}
});
router.get("/:fileId", async (req, res) => {
try {
var imageFound = await db.Images.findOne({
where: { imageId: req.params.fileId },
});
var buffer = imageFound.data;
var mimeType = imageFound.mimeType;
res.contentType(mimeType);
res.send(buffer);
} catch (exp) {
res.json({ success: false, message: exp.message.toString() });
}
});
module.exports = router;
Inside app.js add
var demoRouter = require('./routes/demo');
and
app.use('/demo', demoRouter);
in suitable location.
Now we are ready to run our application.Usually testing can be done using
postman.
For uploading image
curl --location 'http://localhost:3000/demo' \
--form 'image=@"/home/sangram/Pictures/Photo.jpg"'
Output:
{
"success": true,
"message": "File Uploaded to Mysql Successfully",
"data": {
"imageId": 1,
"mimeType": "image/jpeg",
"fileName": "image-1714485923005.jpg",
"data":{contain binary data},
"updatedAt": "2024-04-30T13:07:35.512Z",
"createdAt": "2024-04-30T13:07:35.512Z"
}
}
Please notice imageId that we are going to use in next api call.
curl --location 'http://localhost:3000/demo/1'
This will output image uploaded in previous step.
