File Upload using AngularJS

Question

Here is my HTML form:

Answer 1

Easy with a directive

Html:

JS:

app.directive('fileUpload', function () {
return {
    scope: true,        //create a new scope
    link: function (scope, el, attrs) {
        el.bind('change', function (event) {
            var files = event.target.files;
            //iterate files since 'multiple' may be specified on the element
            for (var i = 0;i

In the directive we ensure a new scope is created and then listen for changes made to the file input element. When changes are detected with emit an event to all ancestor scopes (upward) with the file object as a parameter.

In your controller:

$scope.files = [];

//listen for the file selected event
$scope.$on("fileSelected", function (event, args) {
    $scope.$apply(function () {            
        //add the file object to the scope's files collection
        $scope.files.push(args.file);
    });
});

Then in your ajax call:

data: { model: $scope.model, files: $scope.files }
