Below is the code snippet I am currently working with:
var express = require('express');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var multer = require('multer');
var user = require('./../model/user');
var path = require('path');
var upload = multer();
var awsUpload = require('./../config/fileUpload.js');
var Promise = require('promise');
var item = require('./../model/items.js');
var item_image = '';
var storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function(req, file, callback) {
callback(null, './public/images')
},
filename: function(req, file, callback) {
item_image = file.fieldname + '-' + Date.now() + path.extname(file.originalname);
callback(null, item_image)
}
});
var addItem = function(req, res) {
upload = multer({
limits: {
fileSize: 1000000,
files: 1
},
storage: storage,
fileFilter: function(req, file, callback) {
var ext = path.extname(file.originalname)
if (ext !== '.png' && ext !== '.jpg' && ext !== '.gif' && ext !== '.jpeg') {
return callback(res.end('Only images are allowed'), null)
}
callback(null, true);
}
}).single('item_img');
upload(req, res, function(err) {
var foodtruck_id = req.body.foodtruck_id;
var newItem = new item();
var itemList = [];
newItem.item_name = req.body.item_name;
newItem.item_tag = req.body.item_tag;
newItem.item_description = req.body.item_description;
newItem.item_category = req.body.item_category;
newItem.item_discount_price = req.body.item_discount_price;
for (var key in req.body) {
if (req.body.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
if (key == 'item_illustrations') {
newItem.item_illustrations = req.body[key];
}
}
}
newItem.item_stock = req.body.item_status;
newItem.item_price = req.body.item_price;
if ((foodtruck_id) && (foodtruck_id.trim() != '')) {
foodtruck.findById(foodtruck_id.trim(), function(err, foodtrucks) {
if (err)
res.json({
status: '500',
message: 'There is no data available'
});
newItem.save(function(err, savedItem) {
if (!err) {
foodtrucks.item_list.push(savedItem._id);
foodtrucks.save(function(err, truck) {
foodtruck.find({
_id: truck._id
}).populate('item_list').exec(function(err, foodtrucks) {
res.json({
status: '200',
message: 'New item added successfully',
data: foodtrucks
});
});
});
} else {
res.json({
status: '500',
message: 'Error while saving new item'
});
}
});
});
}
});
};
In my app.js, I have the following route setup:
app.post('/test',addItem);
The issue arises when using req.body.hasOwnProperty with x-www-formurlencoded vs multipart-data through multer. The former works well but the latter gives me an error stating that req.body.hasOwnProperty is not a function. Is there any workaround to address this problem?
