Filter files on the basis of extension using Multer in Express JS

An example using multer:

var storage = multer.diskStorage({ //multers disk storage settings
    destination: function (req, file, cb) {
        cb(null, './public/uploads/')
    },
    filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        var datetimestamp = Date.now();
        cb(null, file.fieldname + '-' + datetimestamp + '.' + file.originalname.split('.')[file.originalname.split('.').length -1])
    }
});

var upload = multer({ //multer settings
    storage: storage,
    fileFilter: function (req, file, callback) {
        var ext = path.extname(file.originalname);
        if(ext !== '.png' && ext !== '.jpg' && ext !== '.gif' && ext !== '.jpeg') {
            return callback(new Error('Only images are allowed'))
        }
        callback(null, true)
    },
    limits:{
        fileSize: 1024 * 1024
    }
}).single('profilepic');
