 # File Upload and EXIF Processing Implementation
 ## Overview
 This document describes the implementation of file upload and EXIF metadata extraction for the Beach Litter Mapping Platform backend.
 ## Components
 ### 1. Multer Middleware (`src/middleware/upload.ts`)
 Handles file uploads to the local filesystem with the following features:
 - **Storage Configuration**: Files are stored in the `./uploads` directory with unique filenames
 - **File Naming**: `{fieldname}-{timestamp}-{random}.{ext}` format to prevent collisions
 - **File Type Validation**: Only accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP images
 - **Size Limits**: Maximum file size of 5MB (configurable via `MAX_FILE_SIZE` env var)
 - **Auto-directory Creation**: Creates upload directory if it doesn't exist
 #### Configuration
 ```typescript
 const storage = multer.diskStorage({
  destination: './uploads',
  filename: 'photo-{timestamp}-{random}.{ext}'
 });
 const fileFilter = (file) => {
  allowedTypes: ['image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 'image/png', 'image/webp']
 };
 const limits = {
  fileSize: 5242880 // 5MB
 };
 ```
 ### 2. EXIF Extraction Utility (`src/utils/exif.ts`)
 Extracts metadata from uploaded photos using the `exifr` library:
 - **GPS Coordinates**: Latitude and longitude from EXIF GPS data
 - **Timestamp**: Original photo capture time (DateTimeOriginal)
 - **Camera Info**: Make and model of the camera/device
 - **Error Handling**: Returns empty object if EXIF data is unavailable
 #### Extracted Data
 ```typescript
 interface ExifData {
  latitude?: number;
  longitude?: number;
  timestamp?: Date;
  make?: string;
  model?: string;
 }
 ```
 ### 3. Upload Endpoint (`POST /api/reports/upload`)
 Protected endpoint for uploading individual photos:
 - **Authentication**: Requires valid Clerk session token
 - **Single File Upload**: Accepts one photo at a time via `photo` field
 - **EXIF Processing**: Automatically extracts metadata from uploaded photo
 - **Response**: Returns file URL and extracted EXIF data
 #### Request
 ```bash
 POST /api/reports/upload
 Authorization: Bearer {clerk_token}
 Content-Type: multipart/form-data
 photo: {file}
 ```
 #### Response
 ```json
 {
  "url": "/uploads/photo-1234567890-123456789.jpg",
  "exifData": {
    "latitude": 53.3498,
    "longitude": -6.2603,
    "timestamp": "2024-11-16T12:30:00.000Z"
  }
 }
 ```
 ### 4. Static File Serving
 Uploaded files are served via Express static middleware:
 ```typescript
 app.use('/uploads', express.static(path.join(__dirname, '../uploads')));
 ```
 Files are accessible at: `http://localhost:3005/uploads/{filename}`
 ## Usage Flow
 ### 1. Upload Photo
 ```typescript
 const formData = new FormData();
 formData.append('photo', file);
 const response = await fetch('/api/reports/upload', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${clerkToken}`
  },
  body: formData
 });
 const { url, exifData } = await response.json();
 ```
 ### 2. Create Report with Photo URLs
 ```typescript
 const report = await fetch('/api/reports', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${clerkToken}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    latitude: exifData.latitude || manualLat,
    longitude: exifData.longitude || manualLng,
    locationSource: exifData.latitude ? 'exif' : 'manual',
    photoUrls: [url],
    photoTimestamp: exifData.timestamp,
    litterType: 'plastic',
    quantity: 'moderate',
    description: 'Beach litter report'
  })
 });
 ```
 ## Error Handling
 ### File Too Large
 ```json
 {
  "error": {
    "code": "FILE_TOO_LARGE",
    "message": "File size exceeds the maximum limit of 5MB",
    "timestamp": "2024-11-16T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
 }
 ```
 ### Invalid File Type
 ```json
 {
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_FILE_TYPE",
    "message": "Invalid file type. Only JPEG, PNG, and WebP images are allowed.",
    "timestamp": "2024-11-16T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
 }
 ```
 ### No File Uploaded
 ```json
 {
  "error": {
    "code": "NO_FILE",
    "message": "No file uploaded",
    "timestamp": "2024-11-16T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
 }
 ```
 ## Environment Variables
 ```env
 # File Upload Configuration
 UPLOAD_DIR=./uploads              # Directory for uploaded files
 MAX_FILE_SIZE=5242880             # Maximum file size in bytes (5MB)
 ```
 ## Security Considerations
 1. **File Type Validation**: Only image MIME types are accepted
 2. **Size Limits**: Prevents large file uploads that could exhaust storage
 3. **Authentication Required**: All uploads require valid Clerk session
 4. **Unique Filenames**: Prevents file overwrites and collisions
 5. **EXIF Stripping**: Consider stripping sensitive EXIF data before public display (future enhancement)
 ## Testing
 Run the test script to verify the implementation:
 ```bash
 npm run test:upload
 # or
 npx tsx src/scripts/testFileUpload.ts
 ```
 The test verifies:
 - ✅ Uploads directory exists
 - ✅ EXIF extraction works correctly
 - ✅ Configuration is properly set
 - ✅ Multer middleware loads successfully
 ## Requirements Satisfied
 This implementation satisfies the following requirements:
 - **1.2**: Extract GPS coordinates from EXIF metadata
 - **1.3**: Prompt for location when EXIF GPS data is unavailable
 - **1.4**: Accept at least one photograph with minimum resolution
 - **1.5**: Extract and display original photo capture time from EXIF
 ## Future Enhancements
 1. **Cloud Storage**: Migrate from local filesystem to AWS S3 or Cloudinary
 2. **Image Optimization**: Resize and compress images on upload
 3. **Multiple File Upload**: Support batch photo uploads
 4. **EXIF Privacy**: Strip sensitive EXIF data (location, device info) before public display
 5. **Virus Scanning**: Integrate antivirus scanning for uploaded files
 6. **CDN Integration**: Serve images via CDN for better performance
