I know this is very a general question but I am failing to upload a file in Angular 2. I have tried
1) http://valor-software.com/ng2-file-upload/ and
2) http://ng2-uploader.com/home
...but failed. Has anyone uploaded a file in Angular? What method did you use? How to do so? If any sample code or demo link is provided it will be really appreciated.
Angular 2 provides good support for uploading files. No third party library is required.
<input type="file" (change)="fileChange($event)" placeholder="Upload file" accept=".pdf,.doc,.docx">
fileChange(event) {
let fileList: FileList = event.target.files;
if(fileList.length > 0) {
let file: File = fileList[0];
let formData:FormData = new FormData();
formData.append('uploadFile', file, file.name);
let headers = new Headers();
/** In Angular 5, including the header Content-Type can invalidate your request */
headers.append('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data');
headers.append('Accept', 'application/json');
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
this.http.post(`${this.apiEndPoint}`, formData, options)
.map(res => res.json())
.catch(error => Observable.throw(error))
.subscribe(
data => console.log('success'),
error => console.log(error)
)
}
}
using @angular/core": "~2.0.0" and @angular/http: "~2.0.0"
