user.js is...
values in console.log statements undefined in console output. post method must not sending form. values users.js errors array displayed after submission. possible syntax error, i'm not seeing it.

files not seem valid in following context...

if (req.files.profileimage) console.log('uploading file...');  

changed to...

if (req.body.profileimage) console.log('uploading file...'); 

have not been able test yet.

npm install multer did not like...

app.use(multer({dest: './uploads'})); 

changed to...

var upload = multer({ dest: './uploads' }); 

not sure proplems cause yet

i face same problem before. way around problem, add connect-multiparty module project using npm command :

npm install connect-multiparty --save 

then add code bellow on top of route file (user.js) after express variable definition.

var express = require('express'); ..  var multipart = require('connect-multiparty'); var multipartmiddleware = multipart(); 

and use multipartmiddleware in router accept files upload.

... router.post('/register', multipartmiddleware, function(req, res, next){ ... ... } 

be aware module not recommend use in routes, use ones in want accept uploads. check documentation more detail https://www.npmjs.com/package/connect-multiparty
