I want the user to upload pdf then I can store it in mongoDB in binData formate. using Loopback as my database backend .
no need for gridfs as the file will always be small
any suggestions on how that can be done ???
It will be hard without gridfs. The easiest way is to use LoopBack Storage Component (http://loopback.io/doc/en/lb2/Storage-component.html). You can use Local File System.
