How can I send file from postman to node js?

Question

I want to upload file from postman to node js but I have problem. POSTMAN Write url,check post method,check form-data,check file,write file name and choose file This is my code app.js

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const fileUpload = require('express-fileupload');

app.use(fileUpload());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());

router.js

router.post('/schedule/entry', function(req,res){
   console.log(req.file.name);
});

Console return me undefined name, if I write this code

router.post('/schedule/entry', function(req,res){
   console.log(req.file);
});

Return 'undefined' Why?

Answer 1

Because of body-parser middleware file will be not available in req so you must use another middleware libraries like connect-busboy or multer or connect-multiparty

Answer 2

Based on the discussion in the comment section:

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const formidable = require('formidable')
const path = require('path')
const uploadDir = '' // uploading the file to the same path as app.js

app.post('/', (req, res) =>{
  var form = new formidable.IncomingForm()
  form.multiples = true
  form.keepExtensions = true
  form.uploadDir = uploadDir
  form.parse(req, (err, fields, files) => {
    if (err) return res.status(500).json({ error: err })
    res.status(200).json({ uploaded: true })
  })
  form.on('fileBegin', function (name, file) {
    const [fileName, fileExt] = file.name.split('.')
    file.path = path.join(uploadDir, `${fileName}_${new Date().getTime()}.${fileExt}`)
  })
});


app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Example app listening on port 3000!'))
