Multer: How to change encoding type

[92iruhd-hsetir]

i'm uploading file through multer. i got an object after upload file as follows
{ fieldname: 'file',
originalname: 'follow-facebook.png',
encoding: '7bit',
mimetype: 'image/png',
destination: 'public/uploads',
filename: '5a655f198bd117d0a348300f3c028654',
path: 'public\uploads\5a655f198bd117d0a348300f3c028654',
size: 1320 }

here i want to change encoding to 'base64' instead '7bit', is it possible to change encoding to base64

That is the encoding that the webbrowser used to send the file, you can't change it. If you want to have your data in base64 than you'll have to apply that transformation after the file has been uploaded.

The following code should be the point:

if (header['content-transfer-encoding'])
        encoding = header['content-transfer-encoding'][0].toLowerCase();
      else
        encoding = '7bit';

So add content-transfer-encoding in request header will change encoding type
