How to create API with multiple text and file Fields in Next JS 14 with multer?

I am working on an API in Next.js 14+ where I need to upload files. Here are the fields I am using:

name: string description: string profile_picture: single image documents: multiple files images: multiple files I want to save the uploaded files in the public/uploads directory within my project.

I am trying to use multer to handle file uploads, but I am encountering an issue: I cannot receive files or the request body in my API.

I am using MongoDB to save the file paths. Despite following the proper steps, I am unable to receive files or the body content in the request. How can I fix this issue? Does the bodyparser false configuration in the API work properly with file uploads in Next.js 14+?

Here's my code:

import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import multer from 'multer';
import path from 'path';
import fs from 'fs';

const uploadDirectory = path.join(process.cwd(), 'public/uploads');
if (!fs.existsSync(uploadDirectory)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(uploadDirectory, { recursive: true });
}

const storage = multer.diskStorage({
    destination: (req, file, cb) => {
        cb(null, uploadDirectory);
    },
    filename: (req, file, cb) => {
        cb(null, `${Date.now()}-${file.originalname}`);
    },
});

const upload = multer({ storage });

const uploadMiddleware = upload.fields([
    { name: 'profile_image', maxCount: 1 },
    { name: 'other', maxCount: 10 },
    { name: 'images', maxCount: 10 },
]);

export const POST = async (req) => {
    try {
        console.log("Hitting The API.");
        await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            uploadMiddleware(req, res, (err) => {
                if (err) return reject(err);
                resolve();
            });
        });

        const { name, desc } = req.body;
        const profileImage = req.files['profile_image']?.[0]?.path.replace(/\\/g, '/') || null;
        const otherFiles = req.files['other']?.map((file) => file.path.replace(/\\/g, '/')) || [];
        const imageFiles = req.files['images']?.map((file) => file.path.replace(/\\/g, '/')) || [];

        const record = await Record.create({
            name,
            desc,
            profile_image: profileImage,
            other: otherFiles,
            images: imageFiles,
        });

        return new Response(
            JSON.stringify({ success: true, record }),
            { status: 201, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }
        );
    } catch (error) {
        return new Response(
            JSON.stringify({ success: false, error: error.message }),
            { status: 400, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }
        );
    }
};

export const config = {
    api: {
        bodyParser: false, 
    },
};
