multer req.file.path gives me an absolute path










0















I'm uploading images to my server, all is ok until i save the path of the image into the database using req.file.path and this is returned



"E:\Dev\todo-app\src\public\img\books-img\filename..."


(also with 2 \ instead of just one / )



when i need something like public/img/books-img/filename... for rendering the webpage with the image.



My code is:



 const storage = multer.diskStorage(
destination: function (req, file, cb)
cb(null, path.join(__dirname, '../../src/public/img/books-img/'))
,
filename: function (req, file, cb)
cb(null, Date.now() + '-' + file.originalname)

);
const upload = multer( storage: storage, limits: fileSize: 1024 * 1024 * 5 , fileFilter: imageFilter ).single('bookImage');


I hope someone can help me with this issue, thanks.
