now you are my new teacher, I like how u explain things buddy!
Bro this is not working, and where have you Written the jsx for button and name
Hey, I haven't watched the full video but I am sure this is the one that I am looking for. I spend around a week to solve this problem of uploading the user image to the data base. Thanks for doing
For anyone wondering how to post with React, you first have to make a new FormData( ) variable and then append the name and image file to it. Then do the usual fetch with method: POST and the body being simply your new form data. Nothing else needed. Don't include a header unless you really need to, it won't work with this example and DO NOT stringify your body.
And if you wanna upload straight to the database without storing on disk, do this:
Change const storage to multer.memoryStorage( ). Then under data, put req.file.buffer. That is all.
And to increase the file size, use these settings in your app.js:
app.use(express.json({ limit: "50mb" }));
app.use(
express.urlencoded({ extended: false, limit: "50mb", parameterLimit: 10000 })
);
It doesn't have to be 50mb, and don't set it too high if you're sharing you app with strangers. They can do some malicous stuff with this lmao.
Hope this helped someone
Thanks a lot man was wondering how to upload files straight to the database
I have uploaded images using both multer and base64 into the same mongoDB schema.
Now I want my webpage to render both images simultaneously. Is it possible?
By the way, I have not watch this video yet. just curious.
I don't recommend this video however it is working. it is because it is taking disk space and both database space. What's point of storing the image in the folder if you are not using it to send back (you are still getting data back from database which is really slow even with only 1 image). It would be good if we used the image stored in folder to sent back and not use the buffer stored in database which would speed up the fetching into server from database.
does it need formdata to upload from frontend to backend?
Thanks a lot. It took 2 days, to solve this. Thanks a lot. You made my day.
Hii i got the error "Maximum call stack size exceeded" please me

For anyone having problems on the front end..........
I was able to do exactly as the tutorial said and got awesome results on the backend, but when I tried to GET on the front end in React (first using RTK query, then trying plain old fetch.then() method) and got some weird error about file exceeds limits. I went over to Stack Overflow and found this piece of code that worked....
in the .map() method where you define the variable base64String use this expression instead:
const base64String = btoa(
new Uint8Array( ).reduce(function (data, byte) {
return data + String.fromCharCode(byte);
}, "")
Change the but keep everything else the same.
@@7hours981 u reduce the file size like it should be up to 150kb.
u r pic should not more than 1mb like that so thats why the maximum call stack exceeded bro
Awesome
Thank and very informative video, step by step explanations. Please also make a tutorial for nodemailer
helped a lot thanks man
Thanks a lot for this video ❤
My image doesnt display, here is what i see on developer console src="data:image/webp;base64,Ym94LndlYnA="
Thanks very useful
Just for anyone wondering, this will likely not work in prod since most people are hosting on a cloud server with a cloud database. That just means that if this isn't running on your own server or a cloud DB, you're going to lose the data that was saved ultimately.
what is the solution?
guys, i cant decode the image from the db.....any idea why? i know i am not giving you much there but..
Thank you so much bro
Nice
can't accept large files why?.
thank you , bro
Thanks you 👍
great video. can someone recommend me a tutorial about deleting and updating the image. need it badly
my backend is working perfectly but i got this error in frontend
ERROR
Maximum call stack size exceeded
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
please help
i have written exactly as you have written
thanks
35:07 img.data.toString('base64') will do the job
Brother i cloned your git repo and it is not working good
the image i am not able to see
please check once
backend is working perfect
bro nice class
how to add name with the image u miss that .can you do the name also with the image to Frontend.Plz do that i am struck at there sir.From days onwards
Hello Sir great tutorial, I got an error 'Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded',
Any idea what is causing it ?
Check your loop. Stop loop at some point.
Did you fix it? I have this error too.
I am also getting same error
Add dependency array to useEffect
one solution is to use lower size image only , so you need to limit size of image while uploading
hello i am getting an error at req.file.filename
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'filename')
and I have also double checked name at both sides .
try using
const multer = require('multer');
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, 'uploads/');
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
const ext = path.extname(file.originalname);
const uniqueSuffix = Date.now() + '-' + Math.round(Math.random() * 1e9);
const fileName = file.fieldname + '-' + uniqueSuffix + ext;
req.fileName = fileName; // Save the generated filename in the request object
cb(null, fileName);
},
const upload = multer({ storage: storage });
after u write ur post/get line add this before ur query
(for example) before the query!
const petPic_link = req.fileName
i had the same issue & it was fixed
Bro, how to uplaod array of images, please help me
have you figured it out? 😅
If you are saving the image to mongodb and retrieving it from mongodb, then what was the point to save the images with multer on the node local server?
That's what i thought too.
yeah..anyone know the solution for this?
you cant acces the img in you request without multer, better thing is to send it to cloudinary and then save the URL in mongo db
You dont have to put the image in the uplods folder you can just use memmoryStorage instead of diskStorage so it wont store the file
Set the storage destination for multer to the "public" folder in your react project and save the filename of the file in mongodb and access it while fetching data from frontend.
I am not getting my image but error: Maximum call stack size exceeded. Can you help me, please????
I also got the same error. did you got the solution
I am also getting the same error 🤔😔
@@theayush18 So, I did some debugs and realized that method accepts a particular file size... So remove the image and try an image with very lower size
@@7hours981 Yes I did
Keep the function and methods as it is go to the frontend and try saving image with very lower size and see
Yes, I also used the same way, thanks a lot.
But what about being able to send the file from the react app instead of using postman?
yes same question
it is easy task for intermediate devs but we are beginer in mern stack. its hard for us😀
Hi, Good expanation bro. But i am getting Max Stack exceed error when i try to upload second image.
me 2
one solution is to use lower size image only , so you need to limit size of image while uploading
i downloaded your project from github and install all dependencies but still i m getting " PayloadTooLargeError "

@@spondoolie6450Thank you so much, your solution worked!
any how to send form data
If you send img file from frontend, then you need to write in headers
Content-Type: 'multipart/form-data '
I hope it will help you

Hii i got the error "Maximum call stack size exceeded" please me 😭😭
same!. how did you fixed it?
@@maniac1441 bro check the comments below, someone has provided the solution
cannot read properties of undefined readding filename
in your backend routes use
req.file.filename then you will get your filename
I think because you are not passing any image to the POST request
Getting the same error. did you find any solution?
@@AnasAli-gi7tb What are you using to send the POST request? Are you using postman? This error occurs because the request isn't receiving any file so it couldn't read the filename
@@alexiskenalvarez8327 yes i am using post man.. well if this is the case then let me complete the code.
not an good method
PayloadTooLargeError
Use this code in you index.js file:
app.use(express.json({limit: "50mb"}));
app.use(express.urlencoded({
limit: "50mb",
extended: true,
parameterLimit: 100000
}));
thanks for quick reply
After using that code getting error in json at position 0
If anyone's having a problem with
{Maximum call stack size exceeded}
I suggest you use this code instead
btoa(new Uint8Array(p.img.data.data).reduce(function (data, byte) {
return data + String.fromCharCode(byte);
}, ''));
Thanks a lot, saved a lot of time 😃♥
thanks
Beautiful, worked for me too. Upvoted so more ppl can see
Here is my implementation in the code just for others
{imgData?.map((obj) => {
const base64String = btoa(
new Uint8Array(obj.img.data.data).reduce(function (data, byte) {
return data + String.fromCharCode(byte);
}, "")
);
return (

})}
