Hello Beautiful people...
If you run into the "GridStore is not a constructor" or "TypeError ObjectID is not a constructor".
Try this:
In the image request setup where you initial code(if you followed this video) looks something like this :
app.get('/picture/:name', (req, res) => {
if (gfs) {
gfs.files.findOne({ filename: req.params.name }).then((file) => {
if (!file) return res.status(404).json({ err: 'No File Exists' });

if (['image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 'image/png', {
const readStream =
readStream.pipe(res);
} else {
return res.json({ imagen: file });
}
});
}
});

Since mongoose deprecated the GridStore class and gridfs-stream didnt keep updating to take this change, you need to do something like this:
app.get('/picture/:name', (req, res) => {
if (gfs) {
gfs.files.findOne({ filename: req.params.name }).then((file) => {
if (!file) return res.status(404).json({ err: 'No File Exists' });

if (['image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 'image/png', {

const bucket = new mongoose.mongo.GridFSBucket(db, {bucketName: 'uploads', });
const readStream =
readStream.pipe(res);


} else {
return res.json({ imagen: file });
}
});
}
});

Have a good day :D

Setup ends at 15:40, you can start the video from there if you want.

I do appreciate that you actually did all the frontend also because that makes it easy to understand the whole project👍

And it is 300k! Thank you, Brad. Keep on moving. We all need you:)

Thanks Brad ! You're definitely reading into my mind. Always posting a video on what I need at that particular time ! You're a magician ! 😄

⚠️⚠️⚠️ GridStore is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. Please use GridFSBucket instead.

👋I think you're also facing this problem.
✅👉 So, here is the solution!

//add var
let gridFSBucket;
let gfs;
connection.once('open', () => {
gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo);
// add value to new var
gridFSBucket = new mongoose.mongo.GridFSBucket(conn.db, {
bucketName: 'user_images'
});

gfs = Grid(connection.db, mongoose.mongo);


if (file.contentType === 'image/jpeg' || file.contentType === 'image/png') {
//now instead of const readstream =
//add this line
const readStream =
readSteam.pipe(res);
}
});

You're done! 🎉😍

2019: There are so many changes to Gridfs that I can't even find updated commands for you're better off pulling this down and redoing it.
Been stuck on gfs.files and whatever is supposed to replace it for 30 hours.

I was actually searching for this. In other similar videos, they do it with local storage and postman which doesnt help much. Thank you

[leifterjehaugen]

Fantastic project, I just finished it and have learned a lot from it. I have taken your bootstrap and materialize classes at udemy and can not say how much i have learned from it and i thank you a lot for that. Your classes on udemy are the first i look for when i want to learn more. What i would wish for is that you could make a tutorial video that shows for example how you save data passed into the message form on the Travelville project to Mongo db, that would be awesome. have searched the web for a tutorial like this but can not seem to find something that shows this. Thanks again Brad, and i am pleased to see that your follower count rapidly is increasing, then i know that i am searching at the right place for knowledge :-)

Премного благодарен Вам сударь за очень познавательный мануал. Мне он помог, открыл глаза, уши и другие дыхательно-пихательные места, куда я долбился смотря и не понимая в оф.документацию.
Огросный респект тебе братуха!
Привет из России!
