Installation

Install via NPM:

npm install @bytescale/upload-widget @bytescale/upload-widget-angular

Or via YARN:

yarn add @bytescale/upload-widget @bytescale/upload-widget-angular

Or via a <script> tag:

<script src="https://js.bytescale.com/upload-widget-angular/v4"></script>

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 // <-- Add the UploadWidgetModule here.
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Components & Directives

Choose one of these options:

Option 1: Create an Upload Button — 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 — 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', // Get API keys from: www.bytescale.com
    multi: false
  };
  onComplete = (files: UploadWidgetResult[]) => {
    this.uploadedFileUrl = files[0]?.fileUrl;
  };
  uploadedFileUrl = undefined;
}

Option 2: Create a Dropzone — Try on StackBlitz

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', // Get API keys from: www.bytescale.com
    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...",   // URL to use when serving this file.
  filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",      // File path (we recommend saving this to your database).

  accountId: "FW251aX",                  // Bytescale account the file was uploaded to.

  editedFile: undefined,                 // Edited file (for image crops). Same structure as below.

  originalFile: {
    fileUrl: "https://upcdn.io/FW25...", // Uploaded file URL.
    filePath: "/uploads/example.jpg",    // Uploaded file path (relative to your raw file directory).
    accountId: "FW251aX",                // Bytescale account the file was uploaded to.
    originalFileName: "example.jpg",     // Original file name from the user's machine.
    file: { ... },                       // Original DOM file object from the <input> element.
    size: 12345,                         // File size in bytes.
    lastModified: 1663410542397,         // Epoch timestamp of when the file was uploaded or updated.
    mime: "image/jpeg",                  // File MIME type.
    metadata: {
      ...                                // User-provided JSON object.
    },
    tags: [
      "tag1",                            // User-provided & auto-generated tags.
      "tag2",
      ...
    ]
  }
}

⚙️ Configuration

All configuration is optional (except for the apiKey field, which is required).

const options = {
  apiKey: "free",                 // Get API keys from: www.bytescale.com
  locale: myCustomLocale,         // EN_US by default. (See "Localization" section below.)

  maxFileSizeBytes: 1024 ** 2,    // Unlimited by default.
  mimeTypes: ["image/*"],         // Unrestricted by default. Supports * wildcard suffix.
  multi: false,                   // False by default.
  onInit: ({                      // Exposes lifecycle methods for the component.
    close,                        // Closes the widget when called.
    reset,                        // Resets the widget when called.
    updateConfig                  // Updates the widget's config by passing a new config
  }) => {},                       // object to the method's first parameter.
  onUpdate: (event) => {          // Called each time the Upload Widget's list of files change.
    // event.pendingFiles         // Array of files that are either uploading or queued.
    // event.failedFiles          // Array of files that failed to upload (due to network or validation reasons).
    // event.uploadedFiles        // Array of files that have been uploaded and not removed.
  },
  onPreUpload: async file => ({
    errorMessage: "Uh oh!",       // Displays this validation error to the user (if set).
    transformedFile: file         // Uploads 'transformedFile' instead of 'file' (if set).
  }),

🌐 API Support

🌐 File Management APIs

Bytescale provides a wide range of File Management APIs:

• File Listing
• File Deleting
• File Copying
• And more...

🌐 Media Processing APIs (Image/Video/Audio)

Bytescale also provides real-time Media Processing APIs:

• Image Processing APIs (resize, crop, convert, compress & watermark)
• Video Processing APIs (transcode, optimize, resize & extract metadata)
• Audio Processing APIs (transcode, optimize, trim & extract metadata)

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.

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:

// Returns: "https://upcdn.io/1234abc/raw/example.jpg"
UrlBuilder.url({
  accountId: "1234abc",
  filePath: "/example.jpg"
});

Images

To resize the uploaded image /example.jpg to 800x600, use the following:

// Returns: "https://upcdn.io/1234abc/image/example.jpg?w=800&h=600"
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:

// Returns: "https://upcdn.io/1234abc/video/example.mov?f=mp4-h264&h=1080"
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:

// Returns: "https://upcdn.io/1234abc/audio/example.wav?f=aac&br=192"
UrlBuilder.url({
  accountId: "1234abc",
  filePath: "/example.wav",
  options: {
    transformation: "audio",
    transformationParams: {
      f: "aac",
      br: 192
    }
  }
});

Archives

To extract the file document.docx from the uploaded ZIP file /example.zip:

// Returns: "https://upcdn.io/1234abc/archive/example.zip?m=extract&artifact=/document.docx"
UrlBuilder.url({
  accountId: "1234abc",
  filePath: "/example.zip",
  options: {
    transformation: "archive",
    transformationParams: {
      m: "extract"
    },
    artifact: "/document.docx"
  }
});
