'How to validate the array of CSV files that were received using the Multer and express-validator node module
When I use the "express-fileupload" node-module as middleware, I get the req.files structure like below as object,
{
userList: {
name: 'users-list.csv',
data: <Buffer 22 68 63 6c 4e 68 more bytes>,
size: 568,
encoding: '7bit',
tempFilePath: '',
truncated: false,
mimetype: 'text/csv',
md5: '9bc816329306a1e64faac45fte432',
mv: [Function: mv]
}
}
I used express-validator, where I check the type of each file matching the CSV and, also converted the file from CSV file to JSON using express-validator customSanitizer, then I validated the JSON data fields.
But when I am using multer as global middleware in express JS app where I have given as,
app.use(
multer({
storage: multer.memoryStorage()
}).any());
So, I am getting file details in req.files as an array,
[{
fieldname: 'userList',
originalname: 'user-list.csv',
encoding: '7bit',
mimetype: 'text/csv',
buffer: <Buffer 22 518 more bytes>,
size: 568
}]
Is it possible to achieve the same validation with the multer?
