To handle file uploads in a Node.js application, you can use the multer middleware along with the Express.js framework. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up file uploads using multer:

Install Required Packages:

First, you need to install express and multer packages. You can install them via npm:
```
npm install express multer
```

Set Up Express Server:

Create a new JavaScript file (e.g., app.js) and set up your Express server:

const express = require('express');
const multer = require('multer');
const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

// Set up multer for handling multipart/form-data
const upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' }); // Destination folder for uploaded files

// Serve static files from the 'public' directory
app.use(express.static('public'));

// Define route for file upload
app.post('/upload', upload.single('file'), (req, res) => {
  // req.file contains information about the uploaded file
  console.log(req.file);
  res.send('File uploaded successfully');
});

// Start the server
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

HTML Form for File Upload:

Create an HTML file (index.html) with a form for uploading files:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>File Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h2>File Upload</h2>
  <form action="/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="file">
    <button type="submit">Upload</button>
  </form>
</body>
</html>

Run the Server:

Start your Node.js server by running:
```
node app.js
```
Test the File Upload:

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see the file upload form. Choose a file and click the "Upload" button. The file will be uploaded to the uploads/ directory on the server, and you should see a message saying "File uploaded successfully" in the browser.

This example demonstrates a basic setup for handling file uploads in a Node.js application using Express.js and multer. You can customize the upload settings and file handling logic according to your requirements. Additionally, remember to handle errors and add validation for uploaded files as needed.
