I am working on a project (Something like a shopping website) and I want to upload a product describing its name, price and image. It's pretty simple to add name, price in a database, but not finding a proper way to have all those information along with a product Image as there is no specific way to store image like we store Strings and Numbers etc. I do not want to upload a file locally with a package called multer. I have tried using Grid FS storage, but I do not how to make it keep all three information together as a single package. I am looking for a better way so I could use it when I will make my website live.

You can convert an image to a base64 encoded string. See this question for more information. Also see this npm package.

But be careful! As far as I know MongoDB has a maximum storage size for a document. If you plan to save a couple high-res images in that document you will go better with a file storage.
