you need understand basis storing files in mongo. why files stored in mongo , how stored?

from have done, need mongoose plugin store uploaded file mongo gridfs. gridfs here:- http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/gridfs/. can use compatible driver access grid - mongoose , mongoose plugin gridfs-stream example - see here: https://www.npmjs.org/package/gridfs-stream

i have used below save file gridfs.

var express = require('express'); var formidable = require('formidable'); var mongoose = require('mongoose'); var grid = require('gridfs-stream'); var fs = require('fs'); var util = require('util'); var app = express();  app.post('/fileupload', function (req, res) {     var form = new formidable.incomingform();     form.uploaddir = __dirname + "/data";     form.keepextensions = true;     form.parse(req, function(err, fields, files) {         if (!err) {           console.log('file uploaded : ' + files.file.path);           grid.mongo = mongoose.mongo;           var conn = mongoose.createconnection('..mongo connection string..');           conn.once('open', function () {           var gfs = grid(conn.db);           var writestream = gfs.createwritestream({               filename: files.file.name           });           fs.createreadstream(files.file.path).pipe(writestream);        });      }            });    form.on('end', function() {                res.send('completed ..... go , check fs.files & fs.chunks in  mongodb');    });  });  app.get('/', function(request, response){     response.send(         '<form method="post" action="/fileupload" enctype="multipart/form-data">'         + '<input type="file" id="file" name="file">'         + '<input type="submit" value="submit">'         + '</form>'         );     });  app.listen(40000, function() {     console.log('express listening on port 40000'); }); 

the above guide on how should proceed after uploading file , not production ready proof of concept. note replaced busboy formidable personal preference.

does move on?
