#Angular File Input

Simple angular js directive to handle the File Reader API.

Check the demo folder (demo/index.html) for examples.

bower install simple-angular-file-input

angular
.module('app', ['angularFileInput'])

Files to be used in production are located in the folder "angular-file-input/dist"

<script src="angular-file-input.min.js"></script> 

The directive supports three parameters:

• mode: the file reader mode to be used;
• callback: a callback function with the file object
• ng-model: bind the file object to a ng-model (see demo/ngmodel.html)

Available mode options:

• data-url: read file content as data url
• array-buffer: read file content as data buffer
• binary-string: read file content as a binary string
• text: read file content as text/plain

If you do not provide a mode, it will assume "data-url" as default.

The file object used in the callback function will have the following properties:

• name
• size
• content
• mimetype
• encoding (only available in "data-url" mode)

<ng-file-input mode="data-url" callback="callback(file)"></ng-file-input>
<ng-file-input mode="data-url" ng-model="file"></ng-file-input>
<ng-file-input mode="array-buffer" callback="callback(file)"></ng-file-input>
<ng-file-input mode="binary-string" callback="callback(file)"></ng-file-input>
<ng-file-input mode="text" callback="callback(file)"></ng-file-input>

You can specify a template file to be used as the button view, its firts element/node should be a button or a link.

<!-- button.html  -->
<button>Custom Upload Button</button>

<ng-file-input mode="data-url" callback="callback(file)" tmpl="'button.html'"></ng-file-input>
