Source in file modules/users/server/controllers/users/users.profile.server.controller.js, some content like:

  var upload = multer(config.uploads.profileUpload).single('newProfilePicture');
  var profileUploadFileFilter = require(path.resolve('./config/lib/multer')).profileUploadFileFilter;

  // Filtering to upload only images
  upload.fileFilter = profileUploadFileFilter;

I just create one other controller use for save upload files, and reference above code, just found the fileFilter always not work. Correct way should be:

  var multerConfig = config.uploads.profileUpload;
  multerConfig.fileFilter = require(path.resolve('./config/lib/multer')).profileUploadFileFilter;
  var upload = multer(multerConfig).single('newProfilePicture');

@incNick would you like to submit a PR to propose a fix and explain it?

incNick commented 8 years ago

aHa, in fact I'm first time use github and also one new player of Node & Express so I don't know how to submit a PR. Bur after read the source of multer, looks like the filter option only can assign when construct instance, so run multerInstance.fileFilter = something nothing change.

I'm sorry of can't provide you more help :(

@incNick, that's no problemo! This is a great change to get you started with Open Source contributions, Git and GitHub! :-) Up for a challenge? I'll spare some 5 minutes to write quick instructions. Probably easier if I write it for an app, since it's easier to get started with than command line (but lemme know if you'd like to try command line instead):

Click Fork button on top-right corner at GitHub
Open your fork https://github.com/incNick/mean
Install https://desktop.github.com/
Click from your forked repository on GitHub. It opens the app and asks where to save your copy.
At the app, click to create a new branch
Name branch something like "fix-multer-filetype-valiator"
Open files, do your changes, make sure tests work ('npm test')
When you're done, then again in the app, prepare the commit:
- 1. Choose "Uncommited Changes"
- 1. Choose files (or click blue areas in files to commit only some lines)
- 1. Write title, e.g. Fix(users): changes to multer filetype validator
- 1. Write description, see guidelines (might look scary but don't worry if something isn't exactly as it should). Remember to reference this issue in your description by writing "#1270"
- 1. Commit changes to your branch
- 1. Admire your first commit :-)
- 1. Create a Pull request:

Volá! :-)

If you need to do changes, just commit and push to the same branch and they'll appear at the Pull Request here.

This was with OSX, should be quite similar with Windows or Linux clients.

Feel free to ask any questions here or just add me on any chat app. I'm always eager to get new people into open source community.

@simison sure, I think you are right, go further then need learn more :) I just public my branch fix-multer-filetype-validator there, but I'm not sure you can see it. Hope you have one very nice weekend.
