Upload a PDF file

Question

I need to upload pdf files with angular js.

I have a field for the user to input a file, but how to send this file to the back end and save it in some folder?

Answer 1

Basically you need to recover the Base64 of the file selected in <input>, and send it to your server using the $http.post.

Basically I learned by seeing this component posted on github,

visit https://github.com/mistralworks/ng-file-model

With it you would need only to have the <input> as follows

<input type="file" ng-file-model="testFile" />

In which testeFile would be its angular variable in Scope.

In the ngController you would access the Base64 in the second way:

var base64 = $scope.testFile.Data

This Data is generated by the component that sent you the link, now just send the

Base64 to your server.
