how to access request body/parameters in loopback beforeRemote/afterRemote method?

Question

i am using loop back storage component for file upload. request contains both file and user data. After file upload, i need user data to save file info. I am trying to access user data using beforeRemote method and afterRemote method as below:

Storages.beforeRemote('upload', function (context, unused, next) {
     console.log(context.req.body)

    next();
});

Storages.afterRemote('upload', function (context, unused, next) {
     console.log(context.req.body)
    next();
});

but it did not work. is there any way to access request params in remote methods?

For more info on accessing and modifying request param for file upload check it out:- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31048618/modify-image-obtained-from-loopback-component-storage/31059880#31059880 — Robins Gupta, Nov 07 '16 at 21:50

I can access the request data in context.a result which looks like

{
    result: {
        files: {
            file: [object]
        },
        {
            fields: {
                name: [object]
            }
        }
    }
}

files are your uploaded file and fields is your form fields.

You can get body data inside context.args.data

Try:

Storages.beforeRemote('upload', function (context, unused, next) {
    console.log(context.args.data)
    next();
});
