I want to read an image ,write it in a folder and read it again to get it's base64 I get the following error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access 'C:\Workspace\Project\upload_storage\image.jpg' at Object.accessSync (fs.js:192:3)
My code:
const FS = require("fs");
var multiparty = require('multiparty');
var path = require('path');
function readAndWriteFile(file , newPath){
FS.readFileSync(file.path, (err, data)=>{
FS.writeFileSync(newPath, data, (err)=>{
});
});
}
function base64Encode(path,filemime) {
FS.readFileSync(path, {encoding: 'base64'}, (err, data)=>{
if (err) {
throw err;
}
return `data:${filemime};base64,${data}`;
});
}
...
var form = new multiparty.Form()
//retrieve files using multiparty form
form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {
var document;
const documents = files.file;
for(i=0; i<documents.length; i++){
document=documents[i];
const contentType = String(document.headers["content-type"]);
filePath = path.join(process.cwd(),'/upload_storage/',document.originalFilename);
readAndWriteFile(document,filePath);
// // convert image to base64 encoded string
const base64str = base64Encode(filePath, contentType);
console.log(base64str);
}
}
if I comment the base64Encode function call the files get created. What am I doing wrong?
Don't use callbacks with _fileSync
. But it looks like you want copyFileSync
followed by unlinkSync
anyway:
const fs = require('fs');
function readAndWriteFile(file , newPath){
fs.copyFileSync(file.path, newPath);
fs.unlinkSync(file.path)
}
Did you try reading the documentation for fs
?
