ng2-file-upload-modal

This angular 2 component adds a link to your html, that when clicked displays a modal with a file upload component. It uses the ng2-file-upload component thats then added to the ng2-bs3-modal component. Even though the ng2-file-upload supports multiple files, this component is designed to cater for single file upload.

Install

Install all the dependencies:

npm install --save ng2-bs3-modal
npm install --ng2-file-upload
npm install --save ng2-file-upload-modal

Usage

ng2-bs3-modal depends on bootstrap which depends on jquery, you'll need to include both scripts:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.js"></script>

If you're using SystemJS, add the below mappings for all the required dependencies. For a production app these libraries needs to be loaded from a cdn location.

System.config({
    defaultJSExtensions: true,
    map: {
        'ng2-bs3-modal': 'node_modules/ng2-bs3-modal',
        'ng2-file-upload': 'node_modules/ng2-file-upload',
        'ng2-file-upload-modal': 'node_modules/ng2-file-upload-modal'
    }
});

Then import and include in your component:

import {Ng2FileUploadModal} from 'ng2-file-upload-modal/ng2-file-upload-modal';

@Component({
    directives: [Ng2FileUploadModal]
})
export class MyComponent {
    ...
}

Add the directive to your html with the specified bindings:

<ng2-file-upload-modal
    title="Your title"
    [uploadUrl]="yourRestUrl"
    (uploadStatus)="yourCallback($event)">
</ng2-file-upload-modal>

Config

The link that's added to your html can be styled using the 'uploadButton' css selector.

Build

This component uses gulp to build itself. Run the 'build' task to build it locally. The source is build in place, meaning that the typescript compiler produces js & d.ts files alongside the original ts files. The 'bundle' task then outputs everything into a single js file located in bundles folder.

Run

The 'play' task starts up a webserver and opens the app in your default browser.
