Using Multer Upload Files From Two Fields of Separate Forms on Different Pages

Using Multer Upload Files From Two Fields of Separate Forms on Different Pages

In this example I have two fields - resume and image. Resume in one form and Image in other. Both are on separate pages.

First import dependencies
const path = require('path'); // for getting file extension
const multer = require('multer'); // for uploading files
const uuidv4 = require('uuidv4'); // for naming files with random characters

Define fileStorage and fileFilter
const fileStorage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: (req, file, cb) => { // setting destination of where the file to be stored
if (file.fieldname === "resume") { // if uploading resume
cb(null, 'resumes');
} else { // else uploading image
cb(null, 'images');
}
},
filename: (req, file, cb) => { // naming file
cb(null, file.fieldname+"-"+uuidv4()+path.extname(file.originalname));
}
});

const fileFilter = (req, file, cb) => {
if (file.fieldname === "resume") { // if uploading resume
if (
file.mimetype === 'application/pdf' ||
file.mimetype === 'application/msword' ||
file.mimetype === 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'
) { // check file type to be pdf, doc, or docx
cb(null, true);
} else {
cb(null, false); // else fails
}
} else { // else uploading image
if (
file.mimetype === 'image/png' ||
file.mimetype === 'image/jpg' ||
file.mimetype === 'image/jpeg'
) { // check file type to be png, jpeg, or jpg
cb(null, true);
} else {
cb(null, false); // else fails
}
}
};
Middleware for multer
app.use(
multer(
{
storage: fileStorage,
limits:
{
fileSize:'2mb'
},
fileFilter: fileFilter
}
).fields(
[
{
name: 'resume',
maxCount: 1
},
{
name: 'image',
maxCount: 1
}
]
)
);
And then call your routes. You may need to add csrf protection or authentication along with this for security. But this should work fine.

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Python - List - Append, Count, Extend, Index, Insert, Pop, Remove, Reverse, Sort

🐍 Advance List List is widely used and it's functionalities are heavily useful. Append Adds one element at the end of the list. Syntax list1.append(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append(4) l1 Output [1, 2, 3, 4] append can be used to add any datatype in a list. It can even add list inside list. Caution: Append does not return anything. It just appends the list. Count .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.count(value) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 3] l1.count(3) Output 2 It returns 0 if the value is not found in the list. Extend .count(value) counts the number of occurrences of an element in the list. Syntax list1.extend(list) Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.extend([4, 5]) Output [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] If we use append, entire list will be added to the first list like one element. Extend, i nstead of considering a list as one element, it joins the two lists one after other. Append works in the following way. Input l1 = [1, 2, 3] l1.append([4, 5]) Output...

269. Alien Dictionary

  Solution This article assumes you already have some confidence with  graph algorithms , such as  breadth-first search  and  depth-first searching . If you're familiar with those, but not with  topological sort  (the topic tag for this problem), don't panic, as you should still be able to make sense of it. It is one of the many more advanced algorithms that keen programmers tend to "invent" themselves before realizing it's already a widely known and used algorithm. There are a couple of approaches to topological sort;  Kahn's Algorithm  and DFS. A few things to keep in mind: The letters  within a word  don't tell us anything about the relative order. For example, the presence of the word  kitten  in the list does  not  tell us that the letter  k  is before the letter  i . The input can contain words followed by their prefix, for example,  abcd  and then  ab . These cases will never ...
