Multer gridfs Storage
I wanted to change my filename but when I examine console.log (req.file) I can see the filename I changed to, but a different filename is saved in the database using Multergridfs Storage.
1. the default filename
const storage = new GridFsStorage({
url: config.db,
file: (req, file) => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
crypto.randomBytes(16, (err, buf) => {
if (err) {
return reject(err)
}
const filename = 'file' + path.extname(file.originalname);
const fileInfo = {
filename: filename,
bucketName: 'contents'
};
resolve(fileInfo);
});
});
}});
2 this is where i edited the filename
router.post('/', upload.single('file'), (req, res) => {
req.file.filename = req.body.fileName + path.extname(req.file.originalname)
res.redirect('/upload/files')
console.log(req.file)
});the result of the console is something like
{ fieldname: 'file',
originalname: ''YOU CAN ALSO BE GREAT' - Elon Musk Motivation - Motivational Video.mp4',
encoding: '7bit',
mimetype: 'video/mp4',
id: 5bfb292c13eec142f6c20fd9,
filename: 'a.mp4',
metadata: null,
bucketName: 'contents',
chunkSize: 261120,
size: 19372377,
md5: '513c6220ef3afff644cf8a6dc4cd9130',
uploadDate: 2018-11-25T22:58:52.625Z,
contentType: 'video/mp4' }
{ fileName: 'a' }

This part in your code
const storage = new GridFsStorage({
url: config.db,
file: (req, file) => { // In this function is where you configure the name of your file
The file configuration is the one that computes the filename before inserting the file in the database. What you are doing is:
- Generating a name like
'file'plus whatever extension comes from the browser, eg:'file.mp4'
- Saving a file with that name into the database
- Overwriting a property in your request with a new name
- The file in the database remains unchanged
I think what you really wanted was to generate the correct name before inserting
You can do this by using
const storage = new GridFsStorage({
url: config.db,
file: (req, file) => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
crypto.randomBytes(16, (err, buf) => {
if (err) {
return reject(err)
}
// In here you have access to the request and also to the body object
const filename = req.body.fileName + path.extname(file.originalname);
const fileInfo = {
filename: filename,
bucketName: 'contents'
};
resolve(fileInfo);
});
});
}});
Make sure you send all the fields before the file from the form in your browser or some values will be undefined because they are not processed yet.

I'm creating video on demand Api I wanted to upload video and Thumbnail to the DB. a part from default property of the file like {id, field, filename, metadata, bucketname}. I want to add my own custom property like Title, Description, category to the file property so i will endup having {id, field, filename, metadata, bucketname, title, category, description}.
