req.body is empty in key function

[will-fgmnt]

When sending a payload with a file and additional text fields I would expect req.body to contain these text field but it just returns an empty object. Is this intentional?

My use-case is I want to construct the file path based on these additional fields.

req.body doesn't get populated by multer - you're probably looking for the body parser https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser
