need to figure out some way to serialize or upload image file as binary to db

dbehailu commented 3 years ago

used multer to implement functionality.

accepts jpg, jpeg, and pngs.
defaults to 'default-thumbnail.jpg' if no image selected
uploads image to an /uploads directory (will probably turn images into buffer and upload the buffer to db later)
each post has an imgSrc attribute specifying the filepath of its img

npm commands to run:

in server folder, run npm i multer cors
