I'm trying to rename a file using multer. I want to rename the file uploaded to a .jpg
Instead of the tutorial about multer, i'm calling the method rename in my route file. The file is well uploaded but I don't get why the function rename is not working.
By the way, the word 'ici' doesn't appear into my console
router.post('/edit/saveEdit',multer({
rename : function(fieldname, filename, req, res) {
console.log('ici');
return req.body.infoUser.id
}}),
function(req,res){
// console.log(req.body);
// console.log(JSON.stringify(req.files));
var conf = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(file_user));
var user = req.body.infoUser;
//changement de nom de fichier
// console.log(req.files.uploadAvatar);
Thanks for answers/help

It is working for me with the code as below:
var multer = require('multer')
var storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, 'public/uploads/')
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
var getFileExt = function(fileName){
var fileExt = fileName.split(".");
if( fileExt.length === 1 || ( fileExt[0] === "" && fileExt.length === 2 ) ) {
return "";
}
return fileExt.pop();
}
cb(null, Date.now() + '.' + getFileExt(file.originalname))
}
})
var multerUpload = multer({ storage: storage })
var uploadFile = multerUpload.single('file');
try using multer first for performing the desired operation on file and then serving the request.
example :
router.use(multer({
dest: './path/to/folder',
rename : function (fieldname, filename, req, res) {
console.log('ici');
return req.body.infoUser.id
}
}
)));
router.post('/edit/saveEdit', function(req, res){
// Operations saveEdit is hit
});
It is working on my side, please check if that works for you as well.
app.post('/api/photo', function(req, res) {
upload(req,res,function(err) {
if(err) {
return res.end("Error uploading file.");
}
//console.log("Resopnse "+res); e74e107b91f6ed71c70eabb2c2d87d6c
res.end("File is uploaded .... "+Date.now());
});
});
