In the following example, we are going to develop a request to upload a resume and a profile photo with field names 'resume' and 'profile_pic' respectively.
Receiving Request
The following code is to be placed in your localhost(html folder):

Hope this helps! Happy coding!

var express = require('express'); var multer = require('multer'); var upload = multer({ dest: 'upload_folder' }); var app = express(); var upload_files = upload.fields([{ name: 'resume', maxCount: 1 }, { name: 'profile_pic', maxCount: 8 }]); app.post('/upload-profile', upload_files,
function(req, res, next) { console.dir(req.files); //prints the array of uploaded files }); app.listen(parseInt(3200));
