I'm a beginner to angular.js but I have a have a good grasp of the basics.
What I am looking to do is upload a file and some form data as multipart form data. I read that this isn't a feature of angular, however 3rd party libraries can get this done. I've cloned angular-file-upload via git, however I am still unable to post a simple form and a file.
Can someone please provide an example, html and js of how to do this?
This is pretty must just a copy of that projects demo page and shows uploading a single file on form submit with upload progress.
(function (angular) {
'use strict';
angular.module('uploadModule', [])
.controller('uploadCtrl', [
'$scope',
'$upload',
function ($scope, $upload) {
$scope.model = {};
$scope.selectedFile = [];
$scope.uploadProgress = 0;
$scope.uploadFile = function () {
var file = $scope.selectedFile[0];
$scope.upload = $upload.upload({
url: 'api/upload',
method: 'POST',
data: angular.toJson($scope.model),
file: file
}).progress(function (evt) {
$scope.uploadProgress = parseInt(100.0 * evt.loaded / evt.total, 10);
}).success(function (data) {
//do something
});
};
$scope.onFileSelect = function ($files) {
$scope.uploadProgress = 0;
$scope.selectedFile = $files;
};
}
])
.directive('progressBar', [
function () {
return {
link: function ($scope, el, attrs) {
$scope.$watch(attrs.progressBar, function (newValue) {
el.css('width', newValue.toString() + '%');
});
}
};
}
]);
}(angular));
HTML
<form ng-submit="uploadFile()">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<input type="text" ng-model="model.fileDescription" />
<input type="number" ng-model="model.rating" />
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="model.isAGoodFile" />
<input type="file" ng-file-select="onFileSelect($files)">
<div class="progress" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<div class="progress-bar" progress-bar="uploadProgress" role="progressbar">
<span ng-bind="uploadProgress"></span>
<span>%</span>
</div>
</div>
<button button type="submit" class="btn btn-default btn-lg">
<i class="fa fa-cloud-upload"></i>
<span>Upload File</span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
EDIT: Added passing a model up to the server in the file post.
The form data in the input elements would be sent in the data property of the post and be available as normal form values.
