angular-upload
angular-upload copied to clipboard
Upload service with iframe fallback and some nice directives to go with it.
Angular Upload
Upload files using FormData, fall back to iframe upload when FormData isn't supported
- Works in all browsers
- Lightweight
- No dependency on jQuery
Example
<div
class="btn btn-primary btn-upload"
upload-button
url="/upload"
on-success="onSuccess(response)"
>Upload</div>
Install
Install via bower
bower install --save angular-upload
Add the module to your app dependencies and include it in your page
angular.module('app', [
'lr.upload'
]);
<script src='bower_components/angular-upload/angular-upload.min.js'></script>
and to your less/css if you want the upload button
@import "bower_components/angular-upload/src/directives/btnUpload.less"; /* or .min.css */
And you are good to go!
Documentation over parameters
Upload button
The upload button masks the normal file input and makes it look like a button
<div
class="btn btn-primary btn-upload"
upload-button
// Mandatory, the url of the backend that is going to handle the upload
url="/upload"
// Optional, file param name for upload
param="file"
// Optional, object to send as form data with the upload
data="formData"
// Optional, comma separated list or array of allowed mimetypes, defaults to allowing all types
accept="{{acceptTypes}}"
// Optional, Allow selecting multiple files, defaults to false
multiple="{{allowMultiple}}"
// Optional, force all uploads through the iframe solution, defaults to false and should normally not be included
force-iframe-upload="{{forceIframeUpload}}"
// Optional, make file input required and add ng-invalid-required if required is set to true on the input button
required="true|false"
on-upload="onUpload(files)" // Optional callback when uploading starts
on-success="onSuccess(response)" // Optional callback
on-error="onError(response)" // Optional callback
on-complete="onComplete(response)" // Optional, callback (called on both on-success and on-error)
>Fileupload</div>
Advanced documentation
The upload service that is used behind the scenes in the upload button, can be used in a controller by injecting upload
<body ng-app="app" ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<input name="myFile" type="file" />
</body>
angular.module('app').controller('AppCtrl', function ($scope, upload) {
$scope.doUpload = function () {
upload({
url: '/upload',
method: 'POST',
data: {
anint: 123,
aBlob: Blob([1,2,3]), // Only works in newer browsers
aFile: $scope.myFile, // a jqLite type="file" element, upload() will extract all the files from the input and put them into the FormData object before sending.
}
}).then(
function (response) {
console.log(response.data); // will output whatever you choose to return from the server on a successful upload
},
function (response) {
console.error(response); // Will return if status code is above 200 and lower than 300, same as $http
}
);
}
});
Build it yourself!
angular-upload is built with grunt and has a express backend for testing.
Start by installing npm if you don't have it already
via homebrew or homepage (http://nodejs.org/download/)
brew install nodejs
then
npm install -g grunt-cli karma-cli
then from within angular-upload
npm install && bower install
then you can start the testserver up with
grunt webserver
and you can access it through http://localhost:9001 and test the uploader
To run the tests
grunt test
or run in autotest mode
grunt autotest
And when you're done minify it
grunt package
