MongoDB/GridFS File upload with NodeJS.

PS: This project have a JS/Es* Version and Typescript version that i will ry to keep in sync in term of integration, so for sake of clarity the DEV(this branch) will have the JS/ES* Version and ts-build Branch will have the Typescript Version.

As mouthfull as it sounds, but functional it will be, file upload is needed in any application there for this demo shows how we can upload files directly to our MongoDB using it's GridFS System.

Updates:

File Upload :

I've changed the upload endpoints so no in order to upload your documents you will just call for the endpoint bellow :

<localhost|server>/v1/bucket/upload

Checking Uplaoded files :

As an added endpoint, now you can view all your uploaded files using this endpoint:

<localhost|server>/v1/home

This endpoint will give you all uploaded docs within you Database in an array of object that will have the following:

    [{
        file_name: <uploaded-file-name>,
        file_id: <uploaded-file-id>,
        file_link: <auto-generated-downnload-link>
    }]

1. file_name : The uploaded file name.
2. file_id : An auto generated _if upon file upload over GridFS.
3. file_link : An auto generated download link of your file for easy download.

File Download :

I've changed the download endpoints so no in order to download your documents you will just call for the endpoint bellow :

<localhost|server>/v1/bucket/download?document_id=<doc-id>

Change Log :

1. Added a Logger using Winston Logger.
2. Added a Revamp for the API links.
3. Added an Api to check the uploaded files.
4. Changed the way we upload and download files.
5. Download files will be in a file base way and not in base64.
6. Added some Linting and Formating for sake of code Quality.

Finally, for even more details please check this Youtube tutorial I've created that explains just that.
