I have used HTML file input to select a file for uploading using a custom AngularJS directive. Now I want to set the max allowed file size for the input. If the file size is
I would say you need to configure the backend to halt the upload when a certain size is reached. There are a number of ready to use directives, for the front-end stuff - just search for angular upload file backend
. For the backend, you should indicate the backend you use for further help.
Took some liberty and changed your directive implementation a little bit as you are just binding the path of the file to your ng-model instead of file data.Also added the file size check (Max 2000 Bytes) which can changed as preferred. Here is the working plunker.
Changed directive in JS
angular.module('myApp', ['ng'])
.directive('validFile', function($parse) {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, el, attrs, ngModel) {
var model = $parse(attrs.ngModel);
var modelSetter = model.assign;
var maxSize = 2000; //2000 B
el.bind('change', function() {
scope.$apply(function() {
scope.ebook.maxSizeError = false;
if (el[0].files.length > 1) {
modelSetter(scope, el[0].files);
} else {
modelSetter(scope, el[0].files[0]);
}
var fileSize = el[0].files[0].size;
if (fileSize > maxSize) {
scope.ebook.maxSizeError = true;
}
});
});
}
}
})
.controller('Ctrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.ebook = {};//scope object to hold file details
$scope.uploadDocs = function() {
var file = $scope.ebook.file;
console.log(file);
};
}]);
In your HTML
<body ng-controller="Ctrl">
<input type="file" id="flBook" name="flBook" valid-file required accept=".pdf" ng-model="ebook.file" ng-if="ebook.ebook_file.st_filename == undefined">
<span ng-if="formBook.$submitted || formBook.flBook.$touched" ng-cloak>
<span class="text-red" ng-show="formBook.flBook.$valid == false" ng-cloak>E-Book is required.</span>
</span>
<p ng-show="ebook.maxSizeError">Max file size exceeded (2000 bytes)</p>
<button ng-click="uploadDocs()">Upload</button>
</body>
