node.js Post base64 Image API

This small node.js app stores a base64 payload as an image on your local storage using node.js's fs(fs-extra to be precise). It also supports nested directories and the image format.

It removes any extra info sent in the base64Data parameter ("data:image/jpg;base64,").

In order to call the POST API you must use this URL:

http://localhost:3000/api/uploadImage

This is an example payload for posting an image

{
	"base64Data": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhE",
	"imageFormat": "jpeg",
	"userID": "4"
}

The userID parameter is used to created a sub-folder. For instance, the JSON above will create a jpeg image in this directory : C:\image\4\profileImage.jpeg

In order to start the API Server just run : node index.js
