Upload File

Has anyone implemented a file upload using Multer as mentioned in one of the videos? Any tips on how?

My solution if anyone is wanting it is on submit of the form send off the formData and userId:

const userId = this.route.params.userId
const response = (await FileUploadService.upload(formData, userId)).data

Then in a file upload service this:

upload(formData, userId){
return api().post(fileupload/${userId}, formData)
}

Then in routes.js on the server side I used multer S3 to send it off to AWS S3 using req.params.userId and the file name (key). Then send the req.body off to a controller like this:

app.post('/fileupload/:userId', upload.single('image'), nameOfController.upload)

There's probably a better way around this, but that's the solution I have used so far to upload images.
