const app = express();
var multer = require('multer');
var upload = multer();

app.post('/api/upload', upload.single('photo'),function (req, res, next) {
    let data = req.body;
    let file = req.file;
    console.log(data)
    console.log(file)

Where have you specified the destination of the file storage received from multer? — Deekshith Hegde

var upload = multer({ dest: 'uploads/' })

Specify the destination file storage location for multer. The file can be then accessed in the same way as you are doing from req.file
