Multer has been use to handle image upload. Image will be stored in the server and the path will be saved in the database. Howevr, as Vercel does not allow to store image in the server, image upload with multer has been hosted on Digital Ocean. with a authorization token.
Here is the access to the blob storage using express and multer. https://blob.mylab.shadikur.com/multer
It will return a json object with the image url.
{
"success": true,
"imageUrl": "https://blob.mylab.shadikur.com/public/uploads/file-1629780560799-1000000000.jpg"
}// Middleware
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.use('/public/uploads', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public/uploads')));
// Verify API Access Key
const verifyAPIKey = (req, res, next) => {
const apiKey = req.headers['authorization'];
const expectedAPIKey = process.env.MULTER_API_KEY; // Replace with your generated API access key
if (!apiKey || apiKey !== expectedAPIKey) {
res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
} else {
next();
}
};
// Multer configuration
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, callback) {
callback(null, 'public/uploads');
},
filename: function (req, file, callback) {
const uniqueSuffix = Date.now() + '-' + Math.round(Math.random() * 1E9);
const fileExtension = file.originalname.split('.').pop();
callback(null, file.fieldname + '-' + uniqueSuffix + '.' + fileExtension);
}
});
const upload = multer({ storage: storage });
// Multer endpoint with API key validation
app.post('/multer', verifyAPIKey, upload.single('file'), (req, res) => {
if (!req.file) {
console.log('No file received');
return res.send({
success: false
});
} else {
console.log('File received:', req.file);
// Move the file to the public/uploads folder
const filePath = `public/uploads/${req.file.filename}`;
fs.rename(req.file.path, filePath, (error) => {
if (error) {
console.log('Error moving file:', error);
return res.send({
success: false
});
}
console.log('File moved successfully');
// Generate the public URL for the file
const imageUrl = `${req.protocol}://${req.get('host')}/${filePath}`;
return res.send({
success: true,
imageUrl: imageUrl
});
});
