Multer

Adds support for enctype="multipart/form-data"

const multer = require('multer');

const upload = multer({ dest: 'public/uploads/'});

router.post('/create', upload.any(), eventsController.event_create);

//in event_create
const fileInfo = req.files;

Now the files are in your filesystem, use them as you would static files.
