I need help with uploading images and their titles using ng-file-upload in the MEAN stack. I am able to save the image successfully, however, I'm facing difficulty in retrieving the data sent along with it.
Controller:
module.exports = function ($scope, Upload) {
let vm = this;
vm.uploadImage = function () {
if (vm.file) {
vm.file.upload = Upload.upload({
url: '/uploads/gallery',
method: 'POST',
data: { title: vm.title },
file: vm.file
});
vm.file.upload.then(function (response) {
$timeout(function () {
vm.file.result = response.data;
});
}, function (response) {
if (response.status > 0) { }
vm.errorMsg = response.status + ': ' + response.data;
}, function (evt) {
vm.file.progress = Math.min(100, parseInt(100.0 *
evt.loaded / evt.total));
});
}
}
vm.browseImage = function (file, errFiles) {
vm.file = file;
vm.errFile = errFiles && errFiles[0];
}
}
Route:
router.post('/gallery', (req, res) => {
//multers disk storage settings
let folder = './public/assets/images/gallery/';
let filename = '';
let imageLocation = '';
let thumbLocation = '';
let response = '';
//console.log(req.form);------throws undefined
//console.log(req.body);------throws undefined
let storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, folder)
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
var datetimestamp = Date.now();
filename = file.fieldname + '-' + datetimestamp + '.' + file.originalname.split('.')[file.originalname.split('.').length - 1];
imageLocation = folder + filename;
thumbLocation = folder + 'thumb' + filename;
cb(null, filename)
}
});
//multer settings
let upload = multer({
storage: storage
}).single('file');
upload(req, res, function (err) {
if (err) {
res.json({ error_code: 1, err_desc: err });
return;
}
else {
response = { fileCreated: true };
}
})
});
module.exports = router;
How can I retrieve the string from my form in the route?
