Throwing and handling error from multer-gridfs-storage

I am throwing an error from multer-gridfs-storage , but not sure about handling it in a better way .

My Code :-

const storage = new gridfsStorage({
    url : 'mongodb://localhost:27017/uploadeditems' ,
    options : { useNewUrlParser : true , useUnifiedTopology : true  } ,
    file : (req , file) => {
        if(file.mimetype === 'image/jpeg') {
            return {
                filename : file.originalname,
                bucketName : 'Images' ,
                metadata : {
                    ownername : "Anshu Anand"
                }
            }
        }
        else if(file.mimetype === 'application/pdf') {
            return {
                filename : file.originalname , 
                bucketName : 'projectPDFs'
            }
        }

        else {
            throw new Error("File type is different")
        }
    }
})

upload = multer({
    storage ,
    
})

My api to handle it :-

app.post('/upload' , upload.single('project')  , async (req, res) => {
    console.log(req.file)
    

    res.render('upload' , {
            msg : "File has been uploaded successfully"
        })
} ,

(err , req , res , next ) => {

    console.log(err) 

  return res.send(err) //gives just this :- storageError : [] 
  
)

console.log(err) output :-

Error: File type is different
at GridFSStorage.file [as _file] (F:\Node Projects\upload-download\index.js:41:19)

at HeaderParser.emit (node:events:376:20)
at HeaderParser._finish (F:\Node Projects\upload-download\node_modules\dicer\lib\HeaderParser.js:68:8) {
 storageErrors: []
 }

So how do I handle it in a better way and send my exact error which is being thrown in storage config ?

Thanks in advance for any help .

I found out how to get that exact message . You can get it on message property of err .

console.log(err.message) //=>File type is different
