File uploading with Express 4.0: req.files undefined

Question

I\'m attempting to get a simple file upload mechanism working with Express 4.0 but I keep getting undefined for req.files in the app.post

Answer 1

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!!!

Turns out the storage function DID NOT run even once. because i had to include app.use(upload) as upload = multer({storage}).single('file');

 let storage = multer.diskStorage({
        destination: function (req, file, cb) {
            cb(null, './storage')
          },
          filename: function (req, file, cb) {
            console.log(file) // this didn't print anything out so i assumed it was never excuted
            cb(null, file.fieldname + '-' + Date.now())
          }
    });

    const upload = multer({storage}).single('file');
