ENOENT: no such file or directory .?

Question

This is error which am getting while post data and file. I have followed \'academind\' tutorial for building Restful API services, also i have been searching answer for this

Answer 1

I am doing the same course and I too had the same problem (i also use windows machine). The following worked for me:

const hash = require('random-hash'); // you have to install this package:

const fileStorage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: (req, file, callback) => { //this is storing the file in the images folder
        callback(null, path.join(__dirname, '/Images'));
    },

    filename: (req, file, callback) => { //this is just setting a unique filename
        let temp = file.originalname.split('.');
        const filename = temp[0] + '-' + hash.generateHash({length: 5}) + '.' + temp[1]
        callback(null, filename);
    }
});

This creates a unique hash for the filenames as well
