Code:

var multer  = require('multer');

var storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: function (req, file, cb) {
        cb(null, './photos')
    },
    filename: function (req, file, cb) {
        cb(null, file.fieldname + '-' + Date.now())
    }
})

var upload = multer({ storage: storage }).any()

app.post('/admin/uploadpicture', upload, function(req, res) {
    res.send('Test');
});

Not able to understand where i am missing, kindly suggest anything. Thank you in advance.

Increase the field data limit using the limits option:

multer({
  limits: { fieldSize: 2 * 1024 * 1024 }
})
