You are giving findOneAndUpdate function req.body as data but it does not include image filename since filename is at req.file.filename.

You can give {...req.body, img:req.file.filename} to it instead of req.body with spread operator. It takes all properties from req.body and adds img property with value req.file.filename. I used "img" property since you set blog.img when inserting a blog.

Alternatively, you can create a new object and set img property:

const updateData = Object.assign({},req.body); // Copy req.body in order not to change it
updateData.img = req.file.filename
Blog.findOneAndUpdate({ _id: req.body._id},updateData...
