-
ng-model
: You can now use it for<input type="file" />
elements, just like normal. Bind it to a scope property, and it will be assigned aFile
object when the file input is populated. However, this is effectively a read-only property, due to the security restrictions around manipulating file uploads with JavaScript. -
change
: Typical change event. Triggered when a file is selected. -
Files.prototype.$save.call()
: Treats the file object as an instance of$resource
, and POSTs the raw contents of the file to the configured URL. The upload handler also sets four headers:X-File-Name
,X-File-Size
,X-File-Last-Modified
, andContent-Type
.
The X-File-Name
header is encoded with URL encoding.
