I need to download a resume from GridFS, below is the code ive written to do it, but this seems to not give me a physical file for download, this is used to reading the contents. How can i download the file?
exports.getFileById = function(req, res){
var conn = mongoose.connection;
var gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo);
var id = req.params.ID;
gfs.exist({_id: id,root: 'resume'}, function (err, found) {
if (err) return handleError(err);
if (!found)
return res.send('Error on the database looking for the file.');
gfs.createReadStream({_id: id,root: 'resume'}).pipe(res);
});
};
Hope this helps!
exports.downloadResume = function(req, res){
var conn = mongoose.connection;
var gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo);
gfs.findOne({ _id: <resumeId>, root: <collectionName> }, function (err, file) {
if (err) {
return res.status(400).send(err);
}
else if (!file) {
return res.status(404).send('Error on the database looking for the file.');
}
res.set('Content-Type', file.contentType);
res.set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="' + file.filename + '"');
var readstream = gfs.createReadStream({
_id: <resumeId>,
root: '<collectionName>'
});
readstream.on("error", function(err) {
res.end();
});
readstream.pipe(res);
});
};
