error column cannot be null, trying to upload file into sql - mysql

Question

i am still new in node js, and i am trying to make some backend with file upload/ image upload function that can be stored in sql, i am trying using multer but it cant read my file while testing in postman body. anybody can help me where i do wrong?
here is my controller
const { db } = require('./db');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const getgambar = (req, res) => {
const sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM gambar";
db.query(sqlQuery, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
res.send(result);
console.log(result);
}
});
};
const addgambar = (req,res) => {
const idimg = req.body.idimg;
const gambar = req.file.gambar;
console.log()
const sqlQuery = "INSERT INTO image (idimg,gambar) VALUE (?,?)";
db.query(sqlQuery, [idimg,gambar], (err, result) => {
if (err) {
res.send({
message: "error",
err
})
} else {
res.send({
message: "YES"
})
}
});
};
module.exports = {
getgambar,
addgambar,
};
here is my route
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const multer = require('multer');
const path = require('path');
const ctrl = require('./gambarctrl');
const storange = multer.diskStorage({
destination: './uploads',
filename: (req, file, cb) => {
return cb(null, `${file.fieldname}_${Date.now()}${path.extname(file.originalname)}`)
}
})
const upload = multer({
storange: storange
})
router.get('/image/display', ctrl.getgambar)
router.post('/image',upload.single('gambar'), ctrl.addgambar)
module.exports = router;
and here my index
const { db } = require('./db');
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
const fileUpload = require('express-fileupload');
const gambarroute = require ('./gambarroute');
const multer = require('multer');
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(gambarroute);
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('on port 3000!');
});
i am still quite new in node js and i am still searching for tutorial, i appriciate for the help.

Two problems here...
Multer puts the single uploaded file into req.file so you should use
const gambar = req.file; // no `.gambar`
Assuming your DB column is a BLOB or BINARY type, you need to provide a Buffer.
Since you're storing the images within the DB, you don't need to use DiskStorage. Use MemoryStorage instead which provides a Buffer out-of-the-box
const upload = multer({
storage: multer.memoryStorage(), // watch your spelling
})
Then bind the .buffer property in your query.
db.query(sqlQuery, [idimg, gambar.buffer], (err, result) => {
// ...
});
To respond with the image from Express, use something like this
router.get("/image/display/:id", (req, res, next) => {
db.query(
"SELECT `gambar` FROM `image` WHERE `idimg` = ?",
[req.params.id],
(err, results) => {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
if (!results.length) {
return res.sendStatus(404);
}
// set the appropriate content type
res.set("Content-Type", "image/jpg");
res.send(results[0].gambar);
}
);
});
and from the frontend...
<img src="http://localhost:3000/image/display/some-id" />
