Function that returns a file in various size conversions (bytes, kb, mb)

[marcobeltempo]

This function should be able to extract a filename from a path as well as calculate the file size.
Example: user/marco/mydata.txt
mydatat.txt 250 bytes

The node module filesize would be great for this implementation.

Hello, I'd like to take on this issue if possible

[marcobeltempo]

@MPierre9 I ended up implementing the file size feature in the on line 23 of routes/index.js.
Maybe you could work on changing the output from 512 B to say 512 Bytes or even display the size in kb and bytes

@marcobeltempo, managed to get the code to display Bytes instead of B as well as Kilobytes. Right now the function just returns the number however it can be changed to return a string saying 1024 Kilobytes for example. Here is the code:

     fs.stat(file, function (err, stats) {
        var fileStats = [
          'Ananalyzing file from ' + file,
          'Directory: ' + path.win32.dirname(file), //gets the files directroy 
          'Filename: ' + path.win32.basename(file), //gets file name
          'Extension: ' + path.win32.extname(file), //gets file extension
          'Size:' + stats.size + ' Bytes' + ' ' + getKilobytes(stats.size) + ' Kilobytes',        //gets file size and converst to readable bytes
          'File contents: ' + data                  //contents in the file
        ]

        res.render('index', {
          title: 'Fileside',
          stats: fileStats
        });
        //For debugging
        console.log("Directory: ", path.win32.dirname(file));
        console.log("Filename: ", path.win32.basename(file));
        console.log("Extension: ", path.win32.extname(file));
        console.log('Size:', filesize(stats["size"]));
        console.log("File contents: ", data);
      });
    }

  });

});

function getKilobytes(bytes) {
  
  var convertToKiloBytes = bytes / 1024
  var kilobytes = convertToKiloBytes.toFixed(2)

  return kilobytes;
}

Nice work! @MPierre9 I think we should leave it the way it is returning the size in KB.
Submit a pull request and I'll look it over
