var express = require('express');
var router = express(),
multer = require('multer'),
upload = multer(),
fs = require('fs'),
path = require('path');
nodemailer = require('nodemailer'),

directory = path.dirname("");
var parent = path.resolve(directory, '..');
// your path to store the files
var uploaddir = parent + (path.sep) + 'emailprj' + (path.sep) + 'public' + (path.sep) + 'images' + (path.sep);
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('index.ejs', {
    title: 'Express'
});
});

router.post('/sendemail', upload.any(), function(req, res) {

var file = req.files;
console.log(file[0].originalname)
fs.writeFile(uploaddir + file[0].originalname, file[0].buffer,     function(err) {
    //console.log("filewrited")
    //console.log(err)
})
var filepath = path.join(uploaddir, file[0].originalname);
console.log(filepath)
    //return false;
nodemailer.mail({
    from: "yourgmail.com",
    to: req.body.emailId, // list of receivers
    subject: req.body.subject + " ✔", // Subject line
    html: "<b>" + req.body.description + "</b>", // html body
    attachments: [{
        filename: file[0].originalname,
        streamSource: fs.createReadStream(filepath)
    }]
});
res.send("Email has been sent successfully");
})
module.exports = router;

If you are passing options object in mail composer constructor and attachment is on http server then it should look like:

const options = {
    attachments = [
      { // use URL as an attachment
        filename: 'xxx.jpg',
        path: 'http:something.com/xxx.jpg'
      }
    ]
}
