Reading png image from request using body-parser and Express












1















I am sending the following request to my server using postman:



enter image description here



I try to access the image in my application using the following code:



app.js



var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
var usersRouter = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.raw({
type: 'image/png',
limit: '10mb'
}));

app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/users', usersRouter);

module.exports = app;


index.js (router)



var express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
var Jimp = require('jimp');

/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});

router.post('/a', function(req, res) {
var image = req.body;

try{
Jimp.read(image, (err, input) => {
if (err) throw err;
input.sepia();

input.getBuffer(Jimp.AUTO, (err, output) => {
if(err) throw err;

res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'image/png' });
return res.end(output, 'binary');
});
});
}catch (err){
return res.status(400).send(`Error: ${err.message}`).end();
}
});

module.exports = router;


I was first using a form (with the help of express-fileupload library) to send the image and this worked fine, so I know the problem has to be somewhere before the line var image = req.body.
For the Jimp functions (image processing library) to work, the image has to be a buffer representing the png image.
When running console.log(image), the console outputs {}.



Can anybody show me a way to read the png as a buffer when it is sent as a Binary file?

            can you rewrite function with lib multer?



            const multer  = require('multer')
            const storage = multer.memoryStorage()
            const upload = multer({ storage: storage })

            router.post('/a', upload.single('image'), function(req, res, next) {
            const image = req.file.buffer
            });


            or with formidable?



            var formidable = require('formidable' );

            router.post('/a', (req, res) => {
            const form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
            form.parse(req, (error, fields, files) => {
            const image = files.image;
            })
            });
