i wrote a web api where it accepts a file as a byte array and then stores the file in the form of a byte array in the database.
so i want to select a file from UI and then convert that into a byte array and send it to the backend,how can i convert file into byte array in angular js.
What I have tried:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.directive('fileModel', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
alert(2);
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
var model = $parse(attrs.fileModel);
var modelSetter = model.assign;
element.bind('change', function () {
scope.$apply(function () {
modelSetter(scope, element[0].files[0]);
});
});
}
};
}]);
myApp.service('fileUpload', ['$http', function ($http) {
alert(3);
this.uploadFileToUrl = function (file, uploadUrl) {
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append('file', file);
$http.post(uploadUrl, fd, {
transformRequest: angular.identity,
headers: { 'Content-Type': undefined }
})
.success(function () {
})
.error(function () {
});
}
}]);
myApp.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', 'fileUpload', function ($scope, fileUpload) {
$scope.uploadFile = function () {
alert(1);
var file = $scope.myFile;
console.log('file is ');
console.dir(file);
var uploadUrl = "/api/uploadDoc/";
fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, uploadUrl);
};
}]);
