node.js : file upload via express and multer

Form-based File Upload in HTML

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1867

Express

Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

Multer

Multer is a node.js middleware for handling multipart/form-data, which is primarily used for uploading files. It is written on top of busboy for maximum efficiency.
NOTE: Multer will not process any form which is not multipart (multipart/form-data).

Client Codes(index.html)

<script type="text/javascript">
function upload(postUrl, fieldName, files)
{
  var formData = new FormData();
  formData.append(fieldName, files);

  var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
  req.open("POST", postUrl);
  req.onload = function(event) { console.log(event.target.responseText); };
  req.send(formData);
}
function onchange() {
  for (let i = 0; i < this.files.length; i++) {
    upload('/uploads', 'uploadfile', this.files[i]);
  }
}
window.onload = function () {
var  input = document.getElementById('file');
input.addEventListener('change', onchange);
}
</script>
<input type="file" id="file" name="file" multiple onchange="upload" />

Server Codes

var express = require('express')
var app = express()
var path = require('path')
var tmpdir = require('os').tmpdir
var upload = require('multer')({dest: tmpdir()})

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  var indexhtml = 'index.html';
  var tmp = path.resolve(indexhtml);
  res.sendFile(tmp);
})

app.post('/uploads', upload.single('uploadfile'), function (req, res, next) {
  var rp = {'file':req.file, 'body' : req.body, 'ip':req.ip};
  res.send(rp);
})

app.listen(3000)

Test

As you can see in the console, the file was uploaded to server and saved with file name of "/tmp/e2f2d3ae260814fc4b589a13d5981aec".

Print all combination of that select n elements from 1,2,3,...,m.

"C" is for "combination". A combination is an un-ordered collection of distinct elements, usually of a prescribed size and taken from a given set.

   C(n, r) = n!/[r!(n-r)!]

all learning is understanding relationships

James Comer says that no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.
George Washington Carver says all learning is understanding relationships.

"You were chosen to be in my class because I am the best teacher and you are the best students, they put us all together so we could show everybody else how to do it."

"Really?"

"Really. We have to show the other classes how to do it, so when we walk down the hall, people will notice us, so you can't make noise. You just have to strut."

"I am somebody. I was somebody when I came. I'll be a better somebody when I leave. I am powerful, and I am strong. I deserve the education that I get here. I have things to do, people to impress, and places to go."

"Yeah!"

You say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you.

If your device can't support mixer feature, or pcm interface can't open multi times.
You can try PulseAudio.

How to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu

First update your new system

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 

ensure what graphics driver your system needs.

ubuntu-drivers devices 

install intel driver first

sudo apt-get install intel-microcode 

sudo apt-get install nvidia-xxx 

That's all.

Note: nvidia-xxx

you must enter the recommended driver version displayed in ubuntu-drivers devices and I must warn you. Updating the kernel may cause you problems, so once you installed that NVIDIA driver, please don't upgrade with this commands (sudo apt dist-upgrade or sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade), please use sudo apt-get upgrade that command will hold new kernel releases.
