I store a base 64 image like this:
MyController.js
exports.addBook = function (req, res) {
'use strict';
var book = new Book({
title : req.body.title,
author : req.body.author,
category : req.body.category,
synopsis : req.body.synopsis,
units : req.body.units,
avatar: {
data : base64Image('your path' + req.body.avatar + '.jpg'),
contentType: 'image/png'
}
});
function base64Image(src) {
return fs.readFileSync(src).toString("base64");
}
book.save(function (err, books) {
if (err) {
return res.status(500).send(err.message);
}
res.status(200).jsonp(books);
});
};
Hope it helps you
