## :books: General info
* Very simple backend using node with express and multer to load image files.
* Client frontend uses Ionic-Angular or Ionic-React to show user controls to upload file from PC file system.
## :camera: Screenshots
## :signal_strength: Technologies
**Frontends:**
* [Angular v16](https://angular.io/)
* [ionic/angular v7](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic/angular) angular building blocks for Ionic
* [ionic/react v7](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic/react) react building blocks for Ionic. Don't update to v6 due to React breaking changes
**Backend:**
* [cors](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cors) Cross Origin Resource Sharing Connect/Express middleware
* [Express v4](https://expressjs.com/) Node.js middleware, includes body parsing
* [Morgan v1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/morgan) HTTP request logger middleware for node.js
* [Multer v1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/multer) Middleware for handling `multipart/form-data`.
* [Busboy](https://github.com/mscdex/busboy) used by Multer as a streaming parser for HTML form data for node.js
## :floppy_disk: Setup
**/Ionic-Angular & /Ionic-React Frontends:**
* `cd client-angular` then `npm i` to install Angular frontend dependencies
* `cd client-react` then `npm i` to install React frontend dependencies
* I had to have a Google Chrome CORS extension activated for this to work
* Angular frontend: Run `ionic serve` & navigate to `http://localhost:8080/` or `ng serve` & navigate to `http://localhost:4200/` to run server. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
* React frontend: Run `npm run start` & navigate to `http://localhost:3001/`
* The apps will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
**/server-express Backend:**
* `cd server-express` then `npm i` to install backend dependencies
* Run `node index.js` for a node.js server. Backend does not update automatically as nodemon not used
## :computer: Code Examples
* Extract from `server-express/index.js` to show use of dependencies and posting of objects to uploads folder.
```javascript
app.use(cors());
app.use(morgan("combined"));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.post("/upload", upload.single("photo"), (req, res) => {
console.log(req.file);
});
app.post("/uploads", upload.array("photos[]"), (req, res) => {
console.log(req.files);
});
```
## :cool: Features
* Tutorial shows different front-ends that can be used to pass objects to the backend
* Backend 'uploads' folder is automically created if it does not exist already.
## :clipboard: Status & To-Do List
* Status: Working
* To-Do: Nothing. There is repeated frontend ionic-angular code and scope for refactoring - I am leaving it as is for now.
