How do I get the file name from nodejs app.post?

I want to get the file original name from this app.post (used with multer):

app.post('/', upload.array('file'), function(req, res){
    console.log(req.files);

    res.status(204).end();
});

Using console.log(req.files) I get:

[ { fieldname: 'file',
    originalname: 'TSy16rd913.jpg',
    encoding: '7bit',
    mimetype: 'image/jpeg',
    destination: './public/uploads/',
    filename: 'TSy16rd913.jpg',
    path: 'public/uploads/TSy16rd913.jpg',
    size: 110736 } ]

Using console.log(req.files.originalname) or console.log(req.files.filename) gives undefined. So how do I get originalname or filename?

As @Roland Starke answer, req.files is an array, so you have to do something like this req.files[0].filename

To get all filenames :

req.files.forEach(function(value, key) {
  console.log(value.filename)
})
