MULTER - req.files.filename returns undefined

Question

I try to get files.filename (multer multifile).

I upload 2 files ( 1 image and 1 video) upload is good. req.files.image and req.files.video have good values

console.log(req.files['image']);
console.log(req.files.video);

Values are good :

[ { fieldname: 'image',
    originalname: 'TEST-CAMPVIDEO1',
    encoding: '7bit',
    mimetype: 'image/jpeg',
    destination: '/media',
    filename: 'TEST-CAMPVIDEO11558696888750.jpg',
    path: '\\media\\TEST-CAMPVIDEO11558696888750.jpg',
    size: 10271 } ]
[ { fieldname: 'video',
    originalname: 'TEST-CAMPVIDEO1',
    encoding: '7bit',
    mimetype: 'video/mp4',
    destination: '/media',
    filename: 'TEST-CAMPVIDEO11558696888756.mp4',
    path: '\\media\\TEST-CAMPVIDEO11558696888756.mp4',
    size: 15535191 } ]

In node.js

but when i tried to get filename :

console.log(req.files['image']['filename']);
console.log(req.files.video.filename);

It returns undefined

Someone have an answer ???

Thanks friends :)

Answer 1

It looks like the result of req.files['image'] is an array. So you should, in this case, select the first and only item in it like this: req.files['image'][0].filename and it should work.

The array does only contain objects, not the filename property. The first object in the array does have the filename property
