Installation

Install via NPM:

Or via YARN:

yarn add angular-uploader uploader

Initialization

Add the UploaderModule to your app:

import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { UploaderModule } from "angular-uploader";

import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule, 
    UploaderModule // <-- Add the Uploader module 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:

• uploader (required): an instance of the Uploader class.
• uploadOptions (optional): 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 { Uploader, UploadWidgetConfig, UploadWidgetResult } from 'uploader';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
    <a href="{{ uploadedFileUrl }}" target="_blank">{{ uploadedFileUrl }}</a>
    <button
      uploadButton
      [uploadComplete]="onComplete"
      [uploadOptions]="options"
      [uploader]="uploader"
    >
      Upload a file...
    </button>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  uploader = Uploader({
    apiKey: 'free', // <-- Get production-ready API keys from Bytescale
  });
  options: UploadWidgetConfig = {
    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:

• uploader (required): an instance of the Uploader class.
• options (optional): 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 { Uploader, UploadWidgetConfig, UploadWidgetResult } from "uploader";

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  template: `
    <upload-dropzone [uploader]="uploader" 
                     [options]="options"
                     [onUpdate]="onUpdate"
                     [width]="width"
                     [height]="height"> 
    </upload-dropzone>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  uploader = Uploader({ 
    apiKey: "free" 
  });
  options: UploadWidgetConfig = {
    multi: false
  };
  // 'onUpdate' vs 'onComplete' attrs on 'upload-dropzone':
  // - Dropzones are non-terminal by default (they don't have an end
  //   state), so by default we use 'onUpdate' instead of 'onComplete'.
  // - To create a terminal dropzone, use the 'onComplete' attribute
  //   instead and add the 'showFinishButton: true' option.
  onUpdate = (files: UploadWidgetResult[]) => {
    alert(files.map(x => x.fileUrl).join("\n"));
  };
  width = "600px";
  height = "375px";
}

The 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).
    
  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",
      ...
    ]
  }
}
