I build a e-commerce website and i use fetch function to fetch the product data to the back end. like so
const form = document.querySelector('form');
form.addEventListener('submit', async(e) => {
e.preventDefault();
// get data from infront end
const title = form.title.value;
const category = form.category.value;
const hostKind = form.hostingKind.value;
const area = form.area.value;
const realStateDesc = form.realstateDisc.value;
const neighbourhoodDesc = form.neighbourhood.value;
const governorate = form.governorate.value;
const city = form.city.value;
const address = form.address.value;
const zipCode = form.zipCode.value;
const peopleAllowed = form.allowed.value;
const peopleMaxNum = form.maxnum.value;
const timeper = form.timeper.value;
const additional = form.additional.value;
const price = form.rentprice.value;
const photos = form.photos.value;
fetch(photos).then(response => {
console.log(response);
return response.blob();
})
//fetch data
try {
const res = await fetch('/host', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
title: title,
category: category,
hostKind: hostKind,
area: area,
realStateDesc: realStateDesc,
neighbourhoodDesc: neighbourhoodDesc,
governorate: governorate,
city: city,
address: address,
zipCode: zipCode,
peopleAllowed: peopleAllowed,
peopleMaxNum: peopleMaxNum,
timeper: timeper,
additional: additional,
price: price
})
});
//location.assign('/congrats');
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
};
});
then i use GridFS and Multer to upload images inside this form to my MongoDB server like so
mongoose.connect(process.env.DB_CONNECT, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true, useNewUrlParser: true, useCreateIndex: true, })
.then((result) => app.listen(3000))
.catch((err) => console.log(err));
const conn = mongoose.connection;
//init gfs
let gfs;
//const storage = new GridFSStorage({ db: conn });
conn.once('open', () => {
gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo);
gfs.collection('uploads');
});
//create storage engine
const storage = new GridFsStorage({
options: { useUnifiedTopology: true },
url: process.env.DB_CONNECT,
file: (req, file) => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
crypto.randomBytes(16, (err, buf) => {
if (err) {
return reject(err);
}
const filename = buf.toString('hex') + path.extname(file.originalname);
const fileInfo = {
filename: filename,
bucketName: 'uploads',
};
resolve(fileInfo);
});
});
}
});
const upload = multer({ storage });
module.exports = upload;
the problem is that when i use my post request like that
router.post('/host', upload.single('photos'), controllpages.hostPost);
the photos don't save into my data base ,only the product info from controllpages.hostPost does.
and when i use the post request with any other function like so
router.post('/host', upload.single('photos'), (req , res) => {
console.log('Done')
};
the photos do save into my database but i lose the product info .
What should i do?
