--description--

Build a full stack JavaScript app that is functionally similar to this: https://file-metadata-microservice.freecodecamp.rocks. Working on this project will involve you writing your code using one of the following methods:

  • Clone this GitHub repo and complete your project locally.
  • Use our Gitpod starter project to complete your project.
  • Use a site builder of your choice to complete the project. Be sure to incorporate all the files from our GitHub repo.

--instructions--

HINT: You can use the multer npm package to handle file uploading.

--hints--

You should provide your own project, not the example URL.

(getUserInput) => {
assert(
!/.*\/file-metadata-microservice\.freecodecamp\.rocks/.test(
getUserInput('url')
)
);
};

You can submit a form that includes a file upload.

async (getUserInput) => {
const site = await fetch(getUserInput('url'));
const data = await site.text();
const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
assert(doc.querySelector('input[type="file"]'));
};

The form file input field has the name attribute set to upfile.

async (getUserInput) => {
const site = await fetch(getUserInput('url'));
const data = await site.text();
const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(data, 'text/html');
assert(doc.querySelector('input[name="upfile"]'));
};

When you submit a file, you receive the file name, type, and size in bytes within the JSON response.

async (getUserInput) => {
const formData = new FormData();
const fileData = await fetch(
'https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/weather-icons/01d.png'
);
const file = await fileData.blob();
formData.append('upfile', file, 'icon');
const data = await fetch(getUserInput('url') + '/api/fileanalyse', {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
const parsed = await data.json();
assert.property(parsed, 'size');
assert.equal(parsed.name, 'icon');
assert.equal(parsed.type, 'image/png');
};
