# express-fileupload Examples
## Basic File Upload
**Your node.js code:**```javascriptconst express = require('express');const fileUpload = require('express-fileupload');const app = express();
// default optionsapp.use(fileUpload());
app.post('/upload', function(req, res) { let sampleFile; let uploadPath;
if (!req.files || Object.keys(req.files).length === 0) { return res.status(400).send('No files were uploaded.'); }
// The name of the input field (i.e. "sampleFile") is used to retrieve the uploaded file sampleFile = req.files.sampleFile; uploadPath = __dirname + '/somewhere/on/your/server/' + sampleFile.name;
// Use the mv() method to place the file somewhere on your server sampleFile.mv(uploadPath, function(err) { if (err) return res.status(500).send(err);
res.send('File uploaded!'); });});```
**Your HTML file upload form:**```html<html> <body> <form ref='uploadForm' id='uploadForm' action='http://localhost:8000/upload' method='post' encType="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="sampleFile" /> <input type='submit' value='Upload!' /> </form> </body></html>```
## Multi-File Upload
express-fileupload supports multiple file uploads at the same time.
Let's say you have three files in your form, each of the inputs with the name `my_profile_pic`, `my_pet`, and `my_cover_photo`:```html<input type="file" name="my_profile_pic" /><input type="file" name="my_pet" /><input type="file" name="my_cover_photo" />```
These uploaded files would be accessible like so:```javascriptapp.post('/upload', function(req, res) { // Uploaded files: console.log(req.files.my_profile_pic.name); console.log(req.files.my_pet.name); console.log(req.files.my_cover_photo.name);});```
