ng-simple-upload

A tiny, simple directive to for uploading files.

First add the directive to your project.

<script src="ng-simple-upload.js"></script>

Add the dependency to you angular module.

angular.module('app', ['ngSimpleUpload']);

Then add the input[type=file] into your html page. This will trigger the file upload when you have selected your file(s).

<input type="file" multiple ng-simple-upload web-api-url="/api/Upload" callback-fn="myCallback" />

Alternatively, you can choose to upload manually by clicking a button. Add button-id="" with the ID of the button.

<input type="file" ng-simple-upload web-api-url="/api/Upload" callback-fn="myCallback" button-id="upload" />
<button id="upload">Upload</button>

The callback function is the HTTP 200 returned from your Web API. Errors are logged in the console.

// The controller callback function
$scope.myCallback = function (valueFromDirective) {
    console.log(valueFromDirective);
};

Example Web API

// UploadController.cs
public IHttpActionResult Post()
{
    var files = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files;

   for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++)
   {
       var file = files[i];
       // Your logic here
   }

    return Ok(String.Format("Successfully uploaded {0} files.", files.Count));
}
