Usage
Add the UploadWidgetModule
to your app:
import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { UploadWidgetModule } from "@bytescale/upload-widget-angular";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
UploadWidgetModule
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}
Components & Directives
Choose one of these options:
Option 1: Create an Upload Button โ Try on StackBlitz
The uploadButton
directive displays a file upload modal on click.
Inputs:
uploadOptions
(required): an object following the UploadWidgetConfig
interface.uploadComplete
(optional): a callback containing a single parameter โ an array of uploaded files.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { UploadWidgetConfig, UploadWidgetResult } from '@bytescale/upload-widget';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `
<a href="{{ uploadedFileUrl }}" target="_blank">{{ uploadedFileUrl }}</a>
<button
uploadButton
[uploadOptions]="options"
[uploadComplete]="onComplete"
>
Upload a file...
</button>
`,
})
export class AppComponent {
options: UploadWidgetConfig = {
apiKey: 'free',
multi: false
};
onComplete = (files: UploadWidgetResult[]) => {
this.uploadedFileUrl = files[0]?.fileUrl;
};
uploadedFileUrl = undefined;
}
The upload-dropzone
component renders an inline drag-and-drop file uploader.
Inputs:
options
(required): an object following the UploadWidgetConfig
interface.onComplete
(optional): a callback containing the array of uploaded files as its parameter.onUpdate
(optional): same as above, but called after every file upload or removal.width
(optional): width of the dropzone.height
(optional): height of the dropzone.
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { UploadWidgetConfig, UploadWidgetResult, UploadWidgetOnUpdateEvent } from '@bytescale/upload-widget';
@Component({
selector: "app-root",
template: `
<upload-dropzone [options]="options"
[onUpdate]="onUpdate"
[width]="width"
[height]="height">
</upload-dropzone>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
options: UploadWidgetConfig = {
apiKey: 'free',
multi: false
};
onUpdate = ({ uploadedFiles, pendingFiles, failedFiles }: UploadWidgetOnUpdateEvent) => {
const uploadedFileUrls = uploadedFiles.map(x => x.fileUrl).join("\n");
console.log(uploadedFileUrls);
};
width = "600px";
height = "375px";
}
Special behaviour for dropzones:
onComplete
only fires if showFinishButton = true
(when the user clicks "Finish").
onUpdate
must be used when showFinishButton = false
.
Default value: showFinishButton = false
Result
The callbacks receive a Array<UploadWidgetResult>
:
{
fileUrl: "https://upcdn.io/FW25...",
filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",
accountId: "FW251aX",
editedFile: undefined,

๐ API Support
๐ File Management APIs
Bytescale provides a wide range of File Management APIs:
๐ Media Processing APIs (Image/Video/Audio)
Bytescale also provides real-time Media Processing APIs:
Image Processing API (Original Image)
Here's an example using a photo of Chicago:
https://upcdn.io/W142hJk/raw/example/city-landscape.jpg
Image Processing API (Transformed Image)
Using the Image Processing API, you can produce this image:
https://upcdn.io/W142hJk/image/example/city-landscape.jpg
?w=900
&h=600
&fit=crop
&f=webp
&q=80
&blur=4
&text=WATERMARK
&layer-opacity=80
&blend=overlay
&layer-rotate=315
&font-size=100
&padding=10
&font-weight=900
&color=ffffff
&repeat=true
&text=Chicago
&gravity=bottom
&padding-x=50
&padding-bottom=20
&font=/example/fonts/Lobster.ttf
&color=ffe400
Authentication
Bytescale supports two types of authentication:
API Keys
The Bytescale Upload Widget uses the apiKey
parameter to authenticate with Bytescale.
With API key auth, the requester has access to the resources available to the API key:
-
Secret API keys (secret_***
) can perform all API operations (see: Bytescale JavaScript SDK).
-
Public API keys (public_***
) can perform file uploads and file downloads only. File overwrites, file deletes, and all other destructive operations cannot be performed using public API keys.
You must always use public API keys (e.g. public_***
) in your client-side code.
Each API key can have its read/write access limited to a subset of files/folders.
JWTs
JWTs are optional.
With JWTs, users can download private files directly via the URL, as authentication is performed implicitly via a session cookie or via an authorization
header if service workers are enabled (see the serviceWorkerScript
param on the AuthManager.beginAuthSession
method). This allows the browser to display private files in <img>
, <video>
, and other elements.
With JWTs, users can upload files to per-user folders. This is because the permissions in the JWT's payload can be generated at runtime. The Bytescale Upload Widget internally uses the Bytescale JavaScript SDK to perform file uploads: the Bytescale JavaScript SDK handles the JWT refresh process with your API, requesting new JWTs when required, and includes your JWTs in all subsequent requests to the Bytescale API.

and JWTs ยป
UrlBuilder
The Bytescale JavaScript SDK exports a UrlBuilder
to construct URLs from filePaths
:
import { UrlBuilder } from "@bytescale/sdk";
Recommended: you should always save filePaths
to your DB instead of fileUrls
.
Raw Files
To get the URL for the uploaded image /example.jpg
in its original form, use the following:
UrlBuilder.url({
accountId: "1234abc",
filePath: "/example.jpg"
});
Images
To resize the uploaded image /example.jpg
to 800x600, use the following:
UrlBuilder.url({
accountId: "1234abc",
filePath: "/example.jpg",
options: {
transformation: "image",
transformationParams: {
w: 800,
h: 600
}
}
});

Videos
To transcode the uploaded video /example.mov
to MP4/H.264 in HD, use the following:
UrlBuilder.url({
accountId: "1234abc",
filePath: "/example.mov",
options: {
transformation: "video",
transformationParams: {
f: "mp4-h264",
h: 1080
}
}
});

Audio
To transcode the uploaded audio /example.wav
to AAC in 192kbps, use the following:
UrlBuilder.url({
accountId: "1234abc",
filePath: "/example.wav",
options: {
transformation: "audio",
transformationParams: {
f: "aac",

m: "extract"
},
artifact: "/document.docx"
