GitHub Repo for the project code in the video 🤓 : github.com/LloydJanseVanRensburg/FileUploads_NodeJS_Multer/tree/master Would you like to see a video on file uploads straight to the database and one on file uploads using AWS S3 Bucket? Let me know if you are interested and I will make it happen
Thanks so much. Finally understand how to use multer because of you. I like how you explain how to make request from normal front-end HTML, React as well as Postman. Everything was easy to understand and the most important thing is that all of that was step-wise and in one video. Keep making videos like this one.

Can't be more clear. It's really helpful. I'm new to font-end and today I've been confused uploading file from my app for so so long. No matter what I do the server just gets an empty request body. Keep your passion and we need videos like this.
i had to search this guy cos the accent is very much South African!!! haha! very clean and straightforward video thank you! greetings from Germany! proudly SAn!!
Great video very helpful, the one problem, at 9:40 you forgot to mention that you need to put 'const path = require('path');' or else it will give you a error other than that top tier...
Nice video, easy understanding, the main topic I wanted to see you have stopped just before that. That is uploading multiple files with react, it would finish the video of nicely.
Dude, you finally put all my floating questions about the multer docs on npm to rest, thank you, you did such a wonderful job walking us through the code! 🤓🙌🏽💯✨ And super random but I love your South African accent btw 🎊. Greetings from the US :)
Excellent videos by your channel. Definitely helping me clear interviews and assignments for jobs. As said in starting of the video I was waiting for uploading base64 and s3 bucket. Difference between them and which Is more scalable
Can you please tell me how do I upload multiple images to S3 using node.js. I want to upload them and delete them. If you give me a solution it will be really helpful. Thank you
For anyone having trouble with the path of the image use this: Instead of destination: (req, file, cb) => { cb(null, '../images'); } use this: const path = require('path') destination: (req, file, cb) => { cb(null, path.join(__dirname, ' . . ', 'images')); }
Hey man, thanks for the video! Really helpful. Say, how do you handle errors in multer, specifically in the diskStorage engine? you pass a null to the cb function, which is where the error should be, but it's not explained exactly why that is, or what to do with it. I checked the multer documentation also, it's not explained (crappy documentation is a terrible, terrible thing).
The request of cors! might want to include public path in the response, so that frontend can set img[src] or background. I am wondering how should the flow look like when you want to allow user to edit a picture. And then apply and re-edit, etc. ould you duplicate the file to create a copy to work on?
what if we have to correspond some field name to the file uploaded.. may be file uploaded for a specific user or etc?? then how the order and sequence will be mantained? in app and in postman?
@@Pets-px3lu would probably do it in 2 steps uploading the images and receive back the urls. Then when linking images to another entity you can save the details with the entity as part 2. Between these 2 steps you can do many things with naming and ordering, so it really depends on the use case. But its always possible to make an endpoint only for uploading images. And respond with the url, filename etc and then do the ordering of the images in the 2 step.
app.post('/single', upload.single("image"), (req, res) => { console.log(req.file); res.send("Single File Upload success"); }) I want to keep that upload.single("image") inside the flower bracket, I kept but functionality is not working. Please help me - I want this upload.single("image") to be kept inside.
is it also possible to not safe the files when sending them to the backend using multer? So you only have them temporary on the backend while working with them?
suppose we have a single zip file that contains multiple files in it.... if we want to upload that zip file, would the zip file be considered as a single file? or would the zip file be considered as multiple files?
This is really good I used multer in one of my project to upload image on server and deployed on heroku it was initially working..but after few hours when I reopened it image was gone...rest all the data where coming from backend...I don't know is the problem with multer or heroku??
Hey man so basically heroku dont allow you to store images for a long period of time once the dyno goes to sleep it clears any additional files stored. Would recoomend using an AWS S3 bucket to store your images in and then store the url to that bucket containing the assets in your database. You wil still be able to use multer the same as in the video you wil just need to hook up jou storage to work with AWS and there are many videos and tuts online showing how to do this. Hope this helps
Yes this is possible you would then just need to create for example different multer instances. We use the upload one. You can make a uploadImages uploadVideos uploadPdf and so on and then just use them in the routes where you are planning on uploading to different files. And then just in each of the different sets you can add different destination locations
@@the_full_stack_junkie Thank you for the insightful response! How about in another scenario, if they want a new folder to be created for every newly uploaded file/s, like when people are uploading files related to one project, so that they're all grouped together in 1 dedicated folder? Initially I just think the folder destination could only be set in advance for every multer instance, so I was just thinking of sending the files to the assigned destination first, then just move them to the "new" dedicated folder later on in a callback at the Express route, but I don't know if that would be resource efficient. Anyways, thank you again for the comment sir!
bro can we get the random filename from client side(not in input field) like you used const name=Date.now()+file.name; data.append("name",name) and use it in multer filename????
Hi! I'm creating a mern stack app and your videos have helped me a lot, thank you for that! But I'm trying to upload images when creating a blog post. But I only want to upload the images if everything else with creating the post goes well. So I want to use the upload function inside my createPost controller. I kind of got it to work but then I had trouble with accessing the other data in the req.body. Do you have any tips? Is this possible?
Hey champ, listen this is somethig even I struggle with myself but when I feel this way I just cancel that thoughts and keep trying and always try to only compare me to myself yesterday. Coding is a journey that you should enjoy and keep on working, reading, learning and building one day we will realize how far you have come by just keeping on going. Hope this helps champ!!
@@the_full_stack_junkie What words! Thanks for the attention! Actually you are right because about three months ago I was thinking about whether starting to learn coding or not but today literally I am much better than three-month-ago-me.
Is it possible to accept a file upload using this within a controller.js? I'm still new to this and was wondering because I need a variable from a controller that processes a request to name the file that would be included in that same request.
Can someone help me? In my case i need to send a video. I do the same but I get "undefined" on the console log. Honestly I dont understand what's going on.

really helpful video
Your tutorials so great. Do you have one on uploading excel files thro' multer to nodejs from react?
finally got it you're gem
This is so great man
Clear and concise, but how can i retrieve the file and display it as an image.
Thank you brother!
Great Tutorial
For anyone having trouble with the path of the image use this:
Instead of destination: (req, file, cb) => {
cb(null, '../images');
}
use this:
const path = require('path')
destination: (req, file, cb) => {
cb(null, path.join(__dirname, ' . . ', 'images'));
}
thank you very much Sir
Clean explanation
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
You're so welcome!

very informative
Thanks friend Thanks..❤❤
You uploaded multiple images separate fields and my question’s what would be if upload 3 images to 1 field ?
Thanks for video tutorial, but i have a problem with file with Mb , example 7-8Mb . After the upload
the file is not complete.

@@the_full_stack_junkie Do you have explanations on fetch api javascript
I currently don't have a video on this topics but if it is something you are really interested in i will look into making one
@@the_full_stack_junkie You have good things I like restfull Api this is good and javascript fetch api
very clear but how about sending multiple files in client side? define multiple FileData class? lol that sounds very ineficient
Only one file data class. But you can append multiple image/file keys to that object. Will automatically also set you content type
How do you send more Params to the backend with the file object?
when the file is saved in the image directory, it is saved for me as a binary file. Any ideas?
"file.originalname"
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, 'uploads/')
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, file.originalname);
