File Upload using AngularJS

Question

Answer 1

I am able to upload files using AngularJS by using below code:

The file for the argument that needs to be passed for the function ngUploadFileUpload is $scope.file as per your question.

The key point here is to use transformRequest: []. This will prevent $http with messing with the contents of the file.

       function getFileBuffer(file) {
            var deferred = new $q.defer();
            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onloadend = function (e) {
                deferred.resolve(e.target.result);
            }
            reader.onerror = function (e) {
                deferred.reject(e.target.error);
            }

            reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
            return deferred.promise;
        }

        function ngUploadFileUpload(endPointUrl, file) {

            var deferred = new $q.defer();
            getFileBuffer(file).then(function (arrayBuffer) {

                $http({
                    method: 'POST',
                    url: endPointUrl,
                    headers: {
                        "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                        'X-RequestDigest': spContext.securityValidation,
                        "content-length": arrayBuffer.byteLength
                    },
                    data: arrayBuffer,
                    transformRequest: []
                }).then(function (data) {
                    deferred.resolve(data);
                }, function (error) {
                    deferred.reject(error);
                    console.error("Error", error)
                });
            }, function (error) {
                console.error("Error", error)
            });

            return deferred.promise;

        }
