i have a form on my upload page and the code is like this:
<div>
<h1>welcome to HOMETUBE</h1>
<form action="/post" method="post">
<input type="file" name='static/Files' id="Files">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
and here is my server.js :
const express = require("express");
const f = require("fs");
const multer = require("multer");
const cors = require('cors');
const fileStorage = multer.diskStorage({
destination:(req,file,cb) =>{
cb(null,'./static/Files')
},
filename:(req,file,cb)=>{
cb(null,file.originalname)
}
})
const upload = multer({storage : fileStorage})
indexPage = f.readFileSync("./index.html");
postPage = f.readFileSync("./post.html");
const app = express();
app.use(cors());
app.use("/",express.static("static/css"))
app.get("/",(req,res)=>{
res.end(indexPage);
})
app.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.status(404).send(`<h1>${req.url} was not found!</h1>`);
})
app.post("/post",upload.array('static/Files',100),(req,res)=>{
console.log(req.files);
res.end(postPage);
})
app.listen(1010,()=>{
})
and the files system:
now the problem is that when every i try to select a file and then post it by clicking the submit button is just console logs undefined but when i tried with postman it works just as it is supposed to work what can be the problem here ????
i got it , i needed
enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form action="/post" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name='static/Files' id="Files">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
instead of
<form action="/post" method="post" >
<input type="file" name='static/Files' id="Files">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
