Uploading multiple and Single files using Node.js and Express.js with MongoDB.

Multiple File

Image description

As shown in the above image of that we have to upload 3 files but that should be of different sections EMD,PAN,AADHAR and if we use the .multiple() the at a time we can select multiple file for only one field, but to do for different fields we shoud use .any(), In this you can type any number of file paths.

const upload_PAN = multer({
        storage: multer.diskStorage({
            destination: function (req, file, cb) {
                cb(null, "uploads_tender")
            },
            filename: function (req, file, cb) {
                let name = file.originalname;
                cb(null, file.fieldname + "_" + Date.now() + ".pdf")
            }
        })
    }).any('PAN_file', 'EMD_file', 'Aadhar_file')

Single File

To upload for single file only one thing we have to change
i.e.,

const upload_PAN = multer({
        storage: multer.diskStorage({
            destination: function (req, file, cb) {
                cb(null, "uploads_tender")
            },
            filename: function (req, file, cb) {
                let name = file.originalname;
                cb(null, file.fieldname + "_" + Date.now() + ".pdf")
            }
        })
    }).single('Aadhar_file')

Calling Function is the same for both.

  app.post("/upload_tender_file", upload_PAN, (req, res) => {
        let k = req.body;
        let f = req.files;
        let temp = req.files.length;
        let edm=f[0];
        let pan=f[1];
        let aadhar=f[2]

        console.log(temp);
        console.log(k);

        let size = 1;
        if (req.session && req.session.userid) {
            res.json({
                status: "warn",
                message: "Session already exists !",
                isLogged: true,
                lastUpdated: req.session.lastUpdated,
                isLatest: false,
                profile: req.session.profile,
            });
        }
        // check if any value is not null
        else if (size != 0
            && edm
            && pan
            && aadhar
            && k.tenderName
            && k.email
            && k.tenderValue
            && k.amountWords
            && k.endDate) {
            // check if record already exists...
            db.collection("tender_files").findOne(
                { projection: { _id: 1, email: 1, tenderName: 1 } },
                (error, result) => {
                    if (result && result._id) {
                        res.json({
                            status: "error",
                            message: "File already exists !",
                            isLogged: false,
                        });
                    }
                    // tenserName doesn't exists, create one
                    else {
                        let obj = {
                            tenderName: k.tenderName,
                            email: k.email,
                            profile: {

                        db.collection("tender_files").insertOne(obj, (error, results) => {
                            if (error) {
