I want to send a file with express-busboy. On the readme it says that you can use req.body. So i did. The regular inputs worked, but the file inputs just returned the name of the file i uploaded. I uploaded the file called myfile.png and in the textinput, i put the value of 'Hello World'. Here is a sample of code:
//js:
const express = require('express');
const mysql = require('mysql');
const bp = require('body-parser');
const session = require('express-session');
const uc = require('upper-case');
const busboy = require('express-busboy');
const fs = require('fs');
const util = require('util');
const app = express();
app.use(bp.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
busboy.extend(app, {
upload: true,
path: './mydir(folder)'
});
app.post('/somewhere', (req, res) => {
console.log(req.body.textinput);
//returns the 'Hello World'
console.log(req.body.imginput);
//returns 'myfile.png'
});<html>
<body>
<form action="/somewhere" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="textinput">
<input type="file" name="imginput" accept='image/*'>
</form>
</body>
</html>You have to use req.files instead of req.body.
