How to send data along with file in http POST (angularjs + expressjs)?

Question

Situation

I implemented file uploading. Front-end code is taken from popular tutorial. I send POST in service:

myApp.service(\'fileUpload\', [\'$http

You can do something like this:

          $http({
                url: url, 
                method: 'POST',
                data: json_data,
                headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
          }).then(function(response) {
                var res = response.data;
                console.log(res);
          }, function errorCallback(response) {
              // called asynchronously if an error occurs
             // or server returns response with an error status.
          });

Or just add the data property to your function.

    var userObject = {
    email: $scope.user.email,
    password: $scope.user.password,
    fullName: $scope.user.fullName
    };

    $http.post(uploadUrl, fd, {
         transformRequest: angular.identity,
         data: userObject,
         headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
    })

You can try something like this on the backend.

req.on('data', function (chunk) {
    console.log(chunk);
});
