video upload using node.js and mongodb - mongodb

Question

I am New to MongoDB and node.js. I want to know how can I store and fetch a video file in MongoDB using node.js? Any help will be appreciated. The code that I am using is:
app.post('/videos/new', function(req, res) {
req.form.complete(function(err, fields, files) {
console.log('here i go');
if(err) {
next(err);
} else {
ins = fs.createReadStream(files.file.path);
console.log('insssssssssssss'+ins);
ous = fs.createWriteStream(__dirname + '/static/uploads/videos/' + files.file.filename);
util.pump(ins, ous, function(err) {
if(err) {
next(err);
} else { RegProvider.save({
file: req.param(files.file.filename),
filename: req.param('filename')
}, function(error, docs) {
res.redirect('/videos');
});
}
});
//console.log('\nUploaded %s to %s', files.file.filename, files.file.path);
//res.send('Uploaded ' + files.file.filename + ' to ' + files.file.path);
}
});
});
The code to retrieve video files is:
var fs = require('fs');
var src_path = __dirname + '/static/uploads/vidoes/'
module.exports.list = function(callback) {
fs.readdir(src_path,function(err, files){
var ret_files = [];
files.forEach(function(file) {
ret_files.push('/uploads/videos/' + file);
});
console.log(ret_files);
callback(err, ret_files);
});
};
It is working fine, but doesn't store anything in MongoDB.

https://github.com/marcello3d/node-mongolian
is useful for string files in GridFS.
There are more examples of how to use the library than I can post here in the examples folder.

If you are uncertain of what GridFS is you can find out here:
