I'm using Koa-better-body with Koa2, and I want to handle single file uploads in a POST form submission (input type=file).

While all the other fields show up properly under ctx.request.fields, i.e. ctx.request.fields.title, my file input's contents simply aren't available!

Interestingly,under ctx.request.fields, I still get a value for my file input (ctx.request.fields.coverimage), but that only gives me a file-name string, not the actual file (a cover image in this case).

What am I missing!

I bet that you forgot to add to your form: 

enctype="multipart/form-data"
