Node JS read Form Data

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I want to send some attributes and a file to a Node JS application with multipart/form-data.

Client HTML Form:

<input id="picName" name="picName" class="form-control" placeholder="PicTitle..." style="border-radius: 1%; margin: 1%" type="name">
<form id="frmUploader" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/post/picture/" method="post">
<input id="file" type="file" name="picUploader" multiple /><br>
<input class="btn btn-md btn-success" type="submit" name="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Upload" /><br>
form>

Client JS:

$('#frmUploader').submit(function () {
      var username = localStorage.getItem("userName");
      var categoryName = $( "#categoryAddPic option:selected").text();
      var picTitle = $('#picName').val();

          var picture = $('input[name="picUploader"]').get(0).files[0];
          var formData = new FormData();
          formData.append('picture', picture);
          formData.append('username', username);
          formData.append('categoryName', categoryName);
          formData.append('picTitle', picTitle);

            $.ajax({
                method: 'POST',
                url: 'http://localhost:3000/post/picture',
                data: formData,
                headers:{
                    "Authorization": "bearer " + token
                },success:function (respond) {
                    ...
            });
        }
        return false;
    });

Now I want to save the data of the form in my Node application. If it is necessary to know too, I´m using multer for saving the file on the server.

Thanks for help.

PS: The node version is 4.8.3

Node JS:

app.post('/post/picture',function (req, res, next) {

var picName = req
                                                

                                                                                                        
                                                    
                                                
                                                

                                                    

                                                        
                                                            0
                                                            views 

                                                            0
                                                                likes 
                                                            
                                                            

                                                            0
                                                            shares
