upload & download functions
My functions for uploading files and downloading files looke like this. The uploadFiles functions works perfectly and do what it should do.
The download doesn't do what I want. It load's the images and stream's them. What i want is, that it download's the file from the database to the device. Is there any possiblity to do that with GridFSBucket, or do I need something else?
const uploadFiles = async(req, res) => {
try {
await upload(req, res);
console.log(req.file);
if (req.file == undefined) {
return res.send({
message: "You must select a file.",
});
}
return res.send({
message: "File has been uploaded.",
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
return res.send({
message: "Error when trying upload image: ${error}",
});
}
};
const download = async(req, res) => {
try {
await mongoClient.connect();
const database = mongoClient.db(dbConfig.database);
const bucket = new GridFSBucket(database, {
bucketName: dbConfig.imgBucket,
});
let downloadStream = bucket.openDownloadStreamByName(req.params.name)
downloadStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./' + req.params.name)).
on('error', function(error) {
console.log("error" + error);
res.status(404).json({
msg: error.message
});
}).
on('finish', function() {
console.log('done!');
res.send('Downloaded successfully!')
});
downloadStream.on("data", function(data) {
return res.status(200).write(data);
});
downloadStream.on("error", function(err) {
return res.status(404).send({ message: "Cannot download the Image!" });
});
downloadStream.on("end", () => {
return res.end();
});
} catch (error) {
return res.status(500).send({
message: error.message,
});
}
};
middleware for uploading and store images
const util = require("util");
const multer = require("multer");
const { GridFsStorage } = require("multer-gridfs-storage");
const dbConfig = require("../config/db.config");
var storage = new GridFsStorage({
url: dbConfig.url,
options: { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true },
file: (req, file) => {
const match = ["image/png", "image/jpeg"];
if (match.indexOf(file.mimetype) === -1) {
const filename = `${Date.now()}-wolpert-${file.originalname}`;
return filename;
}
return {
bucketName: dbConfig.imgBucket,
filename: `${Date.now()}-wolpert-${file.originalname}`
};
}
});
var uploadFiles = multer({ storage: storage }).single("file");
var uploadFilesMiddleware = util.promisify(uploadFiles);
module.exports = uploadFilesMiddleware;
routes
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const uploadController = require("../controller/upload");
const fileRoutes = express.Router({ mergeParams: true });
fileRoutes.route('/upload')
.post(async(req, res) => {
await uploadController.uploadFiles(req, res);
});
fileRoutes.route('/files/:name')
.get(async(req, res) => {
await uploadController.download(req, res);
});
Downloading means streaming the file to the HTTP response, after setting a Content-Disposition
header that instructs the browser to download it (rather than display it inline).
try {
await mongoClient.connect();
const database = mongoClient.db(dbConfig.database);
const bucket = new GridFSBucket(database, {
bucketName: dbConfig.imgBucket,
});
let downloadStream = bucket.openDownloadStreamByName(req.params.name);
res.set("Content-Disposition", "attachment");
downloadStream.pipe(res);
} catch(error) {...
