Currently, I am working on sails and have been able to successfully upload a file from the client to the server without using a form. I am utilizing fs.createReadStream('file') for this purpose. The file data is sent to the server and everything works fine when uploading a file, but I want to change the file name to a random one each time. Below is the code snippet:
var uploadFile = req.file('file');
uploadFile.upload({
maxBytes: 250000000000,
dirname: '../../assets/videos'
}, function onUploadComplete(err, files) {
if (err) {
return res.json({
status: false,
msg: 'uploading error'
}); // False for err
} else {
return res.json({
status: true,
msg: 'success',
data: files
}); // True for success
}
});
The 'files' variable holds a valid array, but it seems to change the file name automatically. I am wondering if there is an option available to set a custom name while uploading? For example:
var object = {
maxBytes: 250000000000,
dirname: '../../assets/videos',
fileName: 'xyz.mp4'
}
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
