Custom controller upload files on entry creation with Stripe

Questions and Answers Strapi Backend

I found the issue :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: I was naming the file FormDate wrong. It needed to match my field name.

Client-side solution:

formData.append(`images`, file, file.name);

Controller:

'use strict';

/**
 *  listing controller
 */

const { createCoreController } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;

module.exports = createCoreController('api::listing.listing', ({ strapi }) =>  ({
    async create(ctx) {

        const listing = JSON.parse(ctx.request.body.data);
        const files = ctx.request.files;
        console.log(listing, files)
    

        // add listing to the database
        const entity = await strapi.service('api::listing.listing').create({
            data: {
                contact_firstname: listing.contact_firstname,
                contact_lastname: listing.contact_lastname,
                contact_phone: listing.contact_phone,
                contact_email: listing.contact_email,
                contact_city: listing.contact_city,
                contact_state: listing.contact_state,
                title: listing.title,
                price: listing.price,
                description: listing.description,
                category: listing.category,
                featured: listing.featured,
                publishedAt: null,
                session_id: session.id,
            },
            files
        });
        console.log(entity)

        const sanitizedEntity = await this.sanitizeOutput(entity, ctx);
  
        return { id: session.id, sanitizedEntity }
    },
  
  }));
