Answer 1

It will become easy to store files after converting in string you just have to convert string in image in your frontend

convert image in to base64 string using this code in your api and also don't forgot to delete file from upload folder

"img": new Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync(req.file.path)).toString("base64")

to delete the file

           let resultHandler = function (err) {
                if (err) {
                    console.log("unlink failed", err);
                } else {
                    console.log("file deleted");
                }
            }

            fs.unlink(req.file.path, resultHandler);

at your routes import multer

 `multer const multer = require('multer');
  const upload = multer({ dest: __dirname + '/uploads/images' });`

Add upload.single('img') in your request

router.post('/fellows-details', authorize([Role.ADMIN, Role.USER]), 
            upload.single('img'), usersController.fellowsdetails);
