node.js - How to find payload in hapi -

i have following route in hapijs server. , trying create new file using ajax.

{         method: 'post',         path: '/create',         config : {             payload:{                 maxbytes: 10*1024*1024,                 output:'stream',                 parse: true,                 allow: 'multipart/form-data'             },             handler: function (request, reply) {                 var data = request.payload;                 if (data.file) { // undefined                     var name = data.file.hapi.filename;                     var path = writepath + '/' + name;                     var file = fs.createwritestream(path);                      file.on('error', reply);                      data.file.pipe(file);                      data.file.on('end', function (err) {                         reply({                             filename: data.file.hapi.filename,                             headers: data.file.hapi.headers                         });                     });                 } else reply(boom.badrequest('no file found. please try again.'));             } } 

the above code give data.file undefined. missing?

in hapi documentation http://hapijs.com/api#requests, when output stream

'stream' - incoming payload made available via stream.readable interface. if payload 'multipart/form-data' , parse true, fields values presented text while files provided streams. file streams 'multipart/form-data' upload have property hapi containing filename , headers properties.

html code :

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/create" method="post">   <input type="file" id="uniquefileimporter"/>   <input type="submit"/> </form> 

of course there no js code, need submit form after selecting file system

thanks matt harrison pointing out mistake, missing attribute name in file inputer.

html should be

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/create" method="post">   <input type="file" name="file" id="uniquefileimporter"/>   <input type="submit"/> </form>
