This is a REST API application for uploading files to either a local server or to the cloud using Cloudinary. It provides endpoints for uploading images and getting a list of uploaded images.
In this build, I used Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Mongoose, TypeScript, Morgan, Dotenv, Express-FileUpload, Cloudinary.
Download and run npm install, then create a .env file at the root of the project and set the following environment variables:
PORT=
MONGO_URI=
IMAGE_MAX_SIZE=if you want to upload images on Cloudinary in additon create this environment variables:
CLOUD_NAME=
CLOUD_API_KEY=
CLOUD_API_SECRET=Mongo uri example:
MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://giorgi:yourClusterPassword@yourClusterName.zi9vxpj.mongodb.net/yourDatabaseName?retryWrites=true&w=majoritythen run npm start.
If you want to save photos in your local server go to api->routes->productRoutes.ts->uncomment commented code lines, and comment out the line of code responsible for saving the photo in the Cloudinary.
