I need save some files like: images,video,pdf... into mongodb, so i use gridfs-stream and express.js
var file = req.files.file;
req.pipe(gfs.createWriteStream({
filename:file.originalname,
mode:"w",
chunkSize:1024*4,
content_type:file.mimetype,
root:"fs"
})
res.send(200);
for testing i use postman and set an POST request this way:
POST /fs/upload HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:5000
Cache-Control: no-cache
----WebKitFormBoundaryE19zNvXGzXaLvS5C
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="epic.png"
Content-Type: image/png
----WebKitFormBoundaryE19zNvXGzXaLvS5C
the problem is that this way just store the data of the file:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("54d14ec5b102fe401519a3c1"),
"filename" : "epic.png",
"contentType" : "image/png",
"length" : 0,
"chunkSize" : 4096,
"uploadDate" : ISODate("2015-02-03T22:42:14.730Z"),
"aliases" : null,
"metadata" : null,
"md5" : "993fb9ce262a96a81c79a38106147e95"
}
but not the content i mean de binary data for it, into mongodb is store for it the propety length is equal to 0, bacause has not any chunks in fs.chucks.
