I am trying to upload an image and update the url of the image in the database collection using the code below.
Controller.prototype.handle = function (req, res, next) { var id = req.params.id, controller = req.params.controller, optionalController; optionalController = _.clone(controller); // handle optional controller if (controller === 'newboat') { controller = 'boat'; } else if (controller === 'newcrew') { controller = 'crew'; } var files = req.files.files || {}, monthYear = new Date(), monthYear = [monthYear.getFullYear(), monthYear.getMonth()], filename = files[0].originalFilename, path = files[0].path, extension = filename.match(EXPRESSION_EXTENSION)[1], destFolder = [ROOT, monthYear[0], '/', monthYear[1] ].join(''), destination = [ROOT, monthYear[0], '/', monthYear[1] ,'/', id, '.', extension ].join(''); // log info //console.log(id, controller, filename, extension, destination, path); var opts = JSON.stringify({id: id, photo: ['/uploads/',monthYear[0], '/', monthYear[1] ,'/', id, '.', extension ].join('') }); async.series([ uploadImage(path,destFolder,destination), ProcessUpload(optionalController, opts, res) ]); }; // write file var uploadImage = function(path,destFolder, destination) { // The land of callbacks ------>>>>>> inception within inception mkdirp(destFolder,777,function (err) { fs.readFile(path, function (err, data) { fs.writeFile(destination, data, function (err) { if (err) { console.log('image not uploaded..'); return false; }else { return true; } }); }); }); }; var ProcessUpload = function(optionalController, opts, res ) { opts = JSON.parse(opts); if (optionalController === 'boat') { updateBoatDatabase(opts); } }; /** * Update boat photo to database */ var updateBoatDatabase = function (opts, callback) { // save to database return dbServices.dbBoat.updatePhoto(opts, callback); };
Here is the Database Service that is being called
/** * Update image */ updatePhoto: function (opts, callback) { var id = opts.id; // find boat by id this.modelClass.findById(id, function (err, model) { if (err || !model) return callback(err); // set update value model.photo = opts.photo; // save model.save(callback); }); },
I get the following error in uploading the image but the image gets uploaded on the server and its url updated on the database collection as well. I am assuming that it has to do with my callbacks but I am not really sure where I am going wrong. Any tips on how to debug this would be appreciated.
