const express = require('express')

const fileUpload = require('express-fileupload')

const mongodb = require('mongodb')

const fs = require('fs')

const app = express()

const router = express.Router()

const mongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient

const binary = mongodb.Binary

router.get("/", (req, res) => {

res.sendFile('./index.html', { root: __dirname })

})

router.get("/download", (req, res) => {

getFiles(res)

})

app.use(fileUpload())

router.post("/upload", (req, res) => {


let file = { name: req.body.name, file: binary(req.files.uploadedfile.data) }

insertFile(file, res)
