## Uploading Files to `MongoDB` with `GridFS` and `Multer` Using `NodeJS`, `Nginx` (web server) and `mongo-express`(Web-based MongoDB admin interface, written with Node.js and express)
[`GridFS`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/gridfs/) is a specification that describes how to split files into chunks during storage and reassemble them during retrieval. The driver implementation of `GridFS` manages the operations and organization of the file storage.
You should use `GridFS` if the size of your file exceeds the BSON-document size limit of 16 megabytes.
`GridFS` organizes files in a **bucket**, a group of MongoDB collections that contain the chunks of files and descriptive information. Buckets contain the following collections, named using the convention defined in the `GridFS` specification:
- The `chunks` collection stores the binary file chunks.
- The `files` collection stores the file metadata.
When you create a new `GridFS` bucket, the driver creates the `chunks` and `files` collections, prefixed with the default bucket name `fs`, unless you specify a different name.

Using this packages:
- [`Mongoose`](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/) (This package will translate the node.JS code to MongoDB)
- [`Config`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/config) (It lets you define a set of default parameters, and extend them for different deployment environments.
- [`Express`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express) (You’ll need this package for any HTTP requests you want to run)
- [`BodyParser`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/body-parser) (This package lets you receive content from HTML forms)
- [`Multer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/multer) (This package enables easy file upload into MongoDB
- [`Gridfs-stream`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gridfs-stream) (Easily stream files to and from MongoDB [`GridFS`](http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/GridFS).)
- [`Multer-gridfs-storage`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/multer-gridfs-storage) (You need this package to implement the MongoDB `GridFS` feature with `multer`).
