I am trying to do an upload and then accessing the image. The upload is going well, uploading the image to assets/images, but when I try to access the image from the browser like http://localhost:1337/images/image-name.jpg it gives me 404. I use Sails.js only for backend purposes - for API and the project is created with --no-front-end option. My front end is on AngularJS.
My upload function:
avatarUpload: function(req, res) {
req.file('avatar').upload({
// don't allow the total upload size to exceed ~10MB
maxBytes: 10000000,
dirname: '../../assets/images'
}, function whenDone(err, uploadedFiles) {
console.log(uploadedFiles);
if (err) {
return res.negotiate(err);
}
// If no files were uploaded, respond with an error.
if (uploadedFiles.length === 0) {
return res.badRequest('No file was uploaded');
}
// Save the "fd" and the url where the avatar for a user can be accessed
User
.update(req.userId, {
// Generate a unique URL where the avatar can be downloaded.
avatarUrl: require('util').format('%s/user/avatar/%s', sails.getBaseUrl(), req.userId),
// Grab the first file and use it's `fd` (file descriptor)
avatarFd: uploadedFiles[0].fd
})
.exec(function (err){
if (err) return res.negotiate(err);
return res.ok();
});
});
}
I see the image in the assets/images folder - something like this - 54cd1fc5-89e8-477d-84e4-dd5fd048abc0.jpg
http://localhost:1337/assets/images/54cd1fc5-89e8-477d-84e4-dd5fd048abc0.jpg - gives 404
http://localhost:1337/images/54cd1fc5-89e8-477d-84e4-dd5fd048abc0.jpg - gives 404
