When working on my project using nest.js in MacOS Sonoma, I encountered a problem where the image folder src/products/images gets deleted after every project rerun (npm start).
The images are saved like this:
for (const image of images) {
const fileName: string = uuid.v4();
const fileExtension: string = image.originalname.split(".").pop();
const filePath: string = `${productImagesDir}/${
fileName + "." + fileExtension
}`;
console.log(image);
await fs.promises.copyFile(image.path, filePath);
let productImage = this.productImageRepository.create({
product: product,
url: `http://localhost:5500/api/product/images/${fileName}.${fileExtension}`,
});
await this.productImageRepository.save(productImage);
successFullyUploadedImages.push(productImage);
}
However, after running npm start, the "dist/product/" directory does not contain an "images" folder. I tried adding this to the Product module:
MulterModule.register({
storage: diskStorage({
destination: "./src/product/images",
filename: (req, file, cb) => {
const uniqueSuffix: string = v4();
const extension = file.mimetype.split("/")[1];
console.log(uniqueSuffix);
console.log(extension);
cb(null, `${uniqueSuffix}.${extension}`);
},
}),
});
Unfortunately, this solution did not solve the issue.
