File uploader with AngularJs Material and a mime type validation:

Directive:

function apsUploadFile() {
    var directive = {
        restrict: 'E',
        require:['ngModel', 'apsUploadFile'],
        transclude: true,
        scope: {
            label: '@',
            mimeType: '@',
        },
        templateUrl: '/build/html/aps-file-upload.html',
        controllerAs: 'ctrl',
        controller: function($scope) {
            var self = this;

            this.model = null;

            this.setModel = function(ngModel) {
                this.$error = ngModel.$error;

                ngModel.$render = function() {
                    self.model = ngModel.$viewValue;
                };

                $scope.$watch('ctrl.model', function(newval) {
                    ngModel.$setViewValue(newval);
                });
            };
        },
        link: apsUploadFileLink
    };
    return directive;
}

function apsUploadFileLink(scope, element, attrs, controllers) {

    var ngModelCtrl = controllers[0];
    var apsUploadFile = controllers[1];

    apsUploadFile.inputname = attrs.name;
    apsUploadFile.setModel(ngModelCtrl);

    var reg;
    attrs.$observe('mimeType', function(value) {
        var accept = value.replace(/,/g,'|');
        reg = new RegExp(accept, "i");
        ngModelCtrl.$validate();
    });

    ngModelCtrl.$validators.mimetype = function(modelValue, viewValue) {

        if(modelValue.data == null){
            return apsUploadFile.valid = true;
        }

        if(modelValue.type.match(reg)){
            return apsUploadFile.valid = true;
        }else{
            return apsUploadFile.valid = false;
        }

    };

    var input = $(element[0].querySelector('#fileInput'));
    var button = $(element[0].querySelector('#uploadButton'));
    var textInput = $(element[0].querySelector('#textInput'));

    if (input.length && button.length && textInput.length) {
        button.click(function(e) {
            input.click();
        });
        textInput.click(function(e) {
            input.click();
        });
    }

    input.on('change', function(e) {

        //scope.fileLoaded(e);
        var files = e.target.files;

        if (files[0]) {
            ngModelCtrl.$viewValue.filename = scope.filename = files[0].name;
            ngModelCtrl.$viewValue.type = files[0].type;
            ngModelCtrl.$viewValue.size = files[0].size;

            var fileReader = new FileReader();
            fileReader.onload = function () {
                ngModelCtrl.$viewValue.data = fileReader.result;
                ngModelCtrl.$validate();
            };
            fileReader.readAsDataURL(files[0]);

            ngModelCtrl.$render();
        } else {
            ngModelCtrl.$viewValue = null;
        }

        scope.$apply();
    });

}
app.directive('apsUploadFile', apsUploadFile);
